Hi Tom,
Yes, SC can be used for calculating protein-small molecule ligand SC. Simply
put the ligand and protein on two separate chains. You probably need to edit
the $CLIBD/sc_radii.lib file to add some atom radii for your ligand. For
example:
ABC N* 1.65
ABC C* 1.90

Subject: [ccp4bb] shape complimentarity for small molecule
Hi all:
If have used SC previously to calculate shape complimentarity for
macromolecular complexes. Can this also be used to calculate shape
complimentarity for a (say) protein/small molecule inhibitor complex? Or is
there some other metric/software that can/should be used to quantitate how
well a small molecule fits a pocket?
thanks
