MacroModel Example: Mixed MCMM/Low-Mode Search Using a Substructure File

This example uses the CDK2 structure 1e1v with the co-crystallized ligand cmg. Alternate binding modes of the ligand are sampled using a mixture of torsional moves, low-mode moves, and rotation and translation of the ligand, in a conformational search. This example was prepared with Maestro. A substructure is used, in which the freely moving region includes the ligand and any residues with atoms within 3.0 Å of the ligand. A fixed and frozen region was also set up in the Substructure tab. The conformational search parameters were initially set by using the Perform Automatic Setup button in the CSearch tab. The parameters were then modified using the individual parameter panels in the CSearch tab to arrive at the sample instruction file below. Only torsions in the ligand are being explicitly sampled in this example.

Descriptions of the opcodes not used in the previous conformational search command file examples follow.

SUBS: With arg1=0 look for an .sbc file that contains information on how the substructure is set up in the system.

MCOP: Arg1=1 print search results every step. Arg5=0.5 specifies that this mixed Monte Carlo/Low-Mode search will attempt Monte Carlo torsional and/or molecular translation moves half the time. The rest of the attempted moves will be generated using low-mode moves.

MOLS: Arg1-4 sepecifies one atom from each molecule to be moved using molecular translation/rotation moves. Arg5 and arg6 specify the minimum and maximum rotation angles while arg7 and arg8 specify the minimum and maximum translation distances.
