[gmx-users] Re:rather theoretical question

[Alexander]

Hi Dmitry,
My experience based on dynamic study of kinase-inhibitor complexes, so
it will be some differences with native substrates and other
proteins. The main problem is to find correct energy minima, when
structures are dynamic. The MD very often reproduces domains moving,
but they not very sensitive to ligand structure, much more for its
presence :(, especially in long MD experiments.
Similar to X-ray structures I had found only with 20-25%
methanol-water mixes (with GROMOS96FF). If you sure that you apo- structure correct, you
can make constrains and so on as say Vojtech Spiwok, but I recommend
you to use molecular docking with energy minimization and visual
checking of obtained complexes.
