Druggability Suite is a VMD_ plugin GUI and a Python module developed for setup and analysis of simulations described in [AB12].
- VMD_ 1.9.1 or later is required for using GUI. NAMD is required for running druggability simulations. Following are required for performing druggability analysis calculations:
- Download one of the following archive files:
Extract contents of the archive and copy :file:`drugui` folder to VMD TCL plugins directory, i.e. :file:`$VMDDIR/plugins/noarch/tcl/`.
Then, insert following line into :file:`$VMDDIR/scripts/vmd/loadplugins.tcl` at line 186:
vmd_install_extension drugui drugui_tk "Modeling/DruGUI"
If you are not sure where VMD directory is located, run :program:`vmd`, and type the following command line in the VMD console:
global env; puts $env(VMDDIR)
Druggability Suite GUI (DruGUI) plugin, shown below, has five panels to streamline setup, analysis, and visualization of druggability simulations:
The rest of the tutorial will show you how to use these panels, and described required inputs and outputs from different analysis steps.
Files in the following archives can be used to follow this tutorial:
Here is a list of these files:
