Hi, Try Autodock from Scripps. It worked beautifully for me. The docked peptide explained why initial attempts at crystalizing the peptide/protein complex failed (because of a crystal contact). The crystal structure subsequently confirmed the calculated structure. My peptide is a 6-mer.

I have a model for the apo form but not the substrate-bound complex. I'd like to dock a peptide fragment of its binding partner potentailly involved in the interaction (~8 residues ) to this cleft. My question is what are some programs people find reliable for making a sensible model of a peptide ligand with the right stereochemistry. As I don't have much experience with peptide docking, I'd really appreciate people sharing their own experience : ) Thanks.

Is it possible to extract a file from the PDB database? All comments will be much appreciated!
