  • As usual, we make no warranty as to correctness of protonation states, tautomers, conformations and poses provided in these directories. In some cases the most relevant such states may not be known, or multiple states perhaps should be considered. Please exercise caution and due diligence.
  • We make an effort to indicate which files are original source files, and which are derived files, so that participants can refer to the original source files to help resolve any uncertainties. We encourage participants to do so.
  • While we make every effort to ensure correctness of the files we provide, it is not uncommon for there to be some errors. Please sign up for our e-mail list, since if any critical bugs are found, we will e-mail out appropriate announcements.

Changes and Data Set Versions

Release versions

  • Release 0.1 (July 22, 2019): Finalizes all three host-guest systems and provides sdf, mol2 and PDB files for all guests. Fixes several critical bugs, including fixing several incorrect cyclodextrin-derivative host structure files, fixing errors in a draft TrimerTrip structure file, fixing the SMILES string for TrimerTrip guest g15, and finalizing TrimerTrip guest list.
  • Release 0.1.1 (July 22, 2019, DOI 10.5281/zenodo.3346023): Includes updated README files that should have been in release 0.1.
  • Release 0.1.2 (Sept. 16, 2019, DOI 10.5281/zenodo.3432298): Fixes protonation states for three "modified cyclodextrin" hosts which had accidentally been prepared (and drawn in ChemDraw) with charged groups present as neutral -- specifically terminal -NH3 groups were provided as -NH2. This affected MGLab19, 24 and 34. Also includes minor maintenance fixes -- listing final rather than tentative buffer conditions for GDCC case (just removing the "tentative" on the buffer identity, and correcting pH from 11.5 to 11.7); updates submission deadlines; fixes missing coordinates in TrimerTrip g11; fixing breakdown into residues in a couple modified cyclodextrin host PDB/mol2 files.
  • Release 0.2 (Sept. 24, 2019, DOI 10.5281/zenodo.3459975): Adds host-guest submission template files and instructions; makes more clear which compounds/cases are optional; makes clear that free energy predictions (and uncertainties) are required; enthalpies optional; adds links to host-guest submission system
  • Release 0.3 (Sept. 26, 2019, DOI 10.5281/zenodo.3462865): Corrected likely charges/protonation states for MGLab23 and MGLab24 in overview table and in jpg and PDF files. Updated corresponding coded and noncoded CDX files. Fixed a mixture of UNK and MGO residue names. Eliminates all instances of atom name HQ which should correspond to a carbon (which for some reason was instead named HX in some hosts, likely causing problems for some workflows). This has been mapped to atom name C9. Reconnects missing bonds in the PDB section of several models. See PR 42 for full details. Also removes outdated info in README.md and removes extra guest listed in TrimerTrip submission template.

Challenge overview

Recently concluded SAMPL7 challenges included a physical property challenge on pKa, partitioning, and permeability; a protein-ligand component on PHIP2; and host-guest binding on three systems: A pair of Gibb Deep Cavity Cavitands (GDCCs), a new "TrimerTrip" molecule from Lyle Isaacs and his group, and a series of cyclodextrin derivatives from Mike Gilson's group. Each host binds one or more guests, and each system involved a total of 9-20 binding free energy calculations. Additional details are provided below. Several hosts and/or guests were optional. Note that the SAMPL8 host-guest challenge is commencing

The planned later stage of SAMPL7 focused on GSK physical property data was shifted to SAMPL8 because of availability of a more time-sensitive physical property dataset which was used here.

Physical property challenge on pKa, partitioning, and permeability

We recently ran a new SAMPL7 challenge focusing on pKa, partitioning, and permeability. The Ballatore group at UCSD contributed a set of measured water-octanol log P, log D, and pKa values for 22 compounds. They also provided PAMPA permeability values they measured.

pKa prediction will consist of predicting relative free energies between compound microstates (which could be also thought of as the reaction free energy for that particular microstate transition; see pKa instructions). We chose free energies rather than pKa values given the recent work of Gunner et al.. For the purposes of the pKa challenge all possible tautomers of each ionization (charge) state are defined as distinct protonation microstates. Macro pKa values may be submitted to allow for a consistency check.

The partitioning prediction challenge will focus on predicting the difference in free energy for the neutral form between water and octanol. As a part of post prediction analysis challenge oraginzers will combine participant-predicted pKa and log P values to obtain estimated distribution coefficients, which will also be compared against experimental values. Participants may optionally submit their own log D values for a consistency check.

A PAMPA permeability prediction challenge was run in parallel to the pKa and partition coefficient challenge.

All three challenges were optional.

Challenge inputs, submission details and submission templates can be found here.

PHIP2 binding prediction

We recently ran a set of SAMPL7 challenges focusing on protein-ligand binding, in partnership with the XChem facility for fragment screening at Diamond Light Source. The second bromodomain of PHIP (PHIP2) was targeted in an extensive X-ray crystallographic fragment screening experiment, leading to the 3D structures of multiple hits. This SAMPL7 challenge will take advantage of this dataset, addressing computational methods for the discrimination of binders from non-binders, binding pose predictions, and the unique opportunity to select new candidate ligands from a database, to be validated experimentally by X-ray crystallography at the Diamond Light Source (Harwell, UK).

This challenge was broken out into at least three stages on a tight timeline:

  1. Identification of binders from fragment screening
  2. Prediction of fragment binding modes
  3. Selection of new compounds for screening from an experimental database

Gibb Deep Cavity Cavitand (GDCC) binding of guests

One host-guest series was based on the Gibb Deep Cavity Cavitands (GDCCs), familiar from SAMPL4-6. However, this challenge we swap one of the hosts; previously, we used octa acid (OA) and tetramethyl octa acid (TEMOA); this challenge revisits OA but also utilizes a variant which changes the location of the carboxylates. Both were developed in the laboratory of Dr. Bruce Gibb (Tulane U), who will provide binding free energies and enthalpies, measured by ITC. In this case the challenge is to predict binding of eight compounds to exo-OA (a new host created and studied by the Gibb group and first disclosed in this challenge), and two of these to OA; the other six have been studied previously in OA and can optionally be submitted. Existing benchmark datasets based on the OA host may be of interest for those preparing to tackle these new complexes: https://github.com/MobleyLab/benchmarksets; this perpetual review paper also provides a good introduction to the sampling and experimental issues which are known to be relevant in these systems. See the README on this challenge for more details.

Modified acyclic cucurbituril (TrimerTrip) binding of guests

The Isaacs lab contributed data on binding of a series of guests to an acyclic cucubituril host, codenamed "TrimerTrip", as detailed in host_guest/Isaacs_clip. Guests include compounds which overlap with the GDCC and cyclodextrin-derivative challenges, with a total of roughly 15 complexes being examined. See the README on this challenge for more details.

The cyclodextrin derivatives challenge

The Gilson lab imeasured binding of two guests to ten different hosts, comprising beta-cyclodextrin as well as nine different cyclodextrin derivatives which have a single functional group added at one location around the rim of the cavity. Binding is being characterized via ITC and NMR. The two guest compounds (R-rimantadine and trans-4-methylcyclohexanol) overlap with those used in the TrimerTrip and GDCC challenges. Full details are available. Binding to beta-cyclodextrin can optionally be submitted, but literature values for these compounds are available.
