What?

This website provides an access to:

  • SwissDock , a web service to predict the molecular interactions that may occur between a target protein and a small molecule.

  • S3DB , a database of manually curated target and ligand structures, inspired by the Ligand-Protein Database.

Why?
  • Propose a binding mode for a ligand

  • Create figures for your articles

  • Generate a complex to perform subsequent calculations

  • Design inhibitors for the target of your choice

How?

SwissDock is based on the docking software EADock DSS, whose algorithm consists of the following steps:

  1. many binding modes are generated either in a box (local docking) or in the vicinity of all target cavities (blind docking).

  2. simultaneously, their CHARMM energies are estimated on a grid.

  3. the binding modes with the most favorable energies are evaluated with FACTS, and clustered.

  4. the most favorable clusters can be visualized online and downloaded on your computer.

EADock DSS

Who?

SwissDock and S3DB are developed by Aurélien Grosdidier, Vincent Zoete and Olivier Michielin, from the Molecular Modeling Group of the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics in Lausanne, Switzerland.

Calculations are performed on the Vital-IT cluster (status)
