Re: Dock a metal ion into a peptide/protein

Andrea,

This is not a question for NAMD mailing list; anyway try with the GRID
(http://www.moldiscovery.com/soft_grid.php), there you have a Zn2+
probe, and you can estimate positions in your protein with high affinity
for it. Good way is to perform classical MD simulation of the protein
alone, than try with few snapshots from trajectory which have
significantly different conformations in the region where Zn ion could
bind well. Hope this will help

Kind regards

Branko
