Is AutoDock-Vina applicable to peptides? #302
Comments
Hi @SoodabehGhaffari Just a user's opinion here - For short peptides (some 5-9 AA peptide ligands I designed, which barely form a large piece of any secondary structure) I had positive experiences docking them using AutoDock Vina. I got similar top-scored poses in AutoDock Vina and ADCP, but at the moment AutoDock Vina is so much faster. I'm less experienced in docking longer peptides, though.. Maybe you could also ask in a bigger computational chemistry community that are not exclusive to AutoDock :> |
I agree with @rwxayheee. As for further suggestions, if you have only standard amino acids, software for protein structure prediction might be useful, e.g. Alphafold, Rosetta, RFdiffusion. |
In addition to conventional softwares for protein structure prediction, AlphaFold2-multimer could be worth trying. According to this paper AF2-multimer outperformed other methods in case of peptide/protein docking. |
Hello,
I was wondering if I can use AutoDock-Vina for docking between proteins and peptides.If not, do you have other suggestions?
Best Regards
Soodabeh
