How to Prepare Ligands for AutoDock Vina with Meeko: From SDF to PDBQT Without Losing Chemical Identity
Prepare single ligands or SDF libraries for AutoDock Vina with Meeko while preserving chemical identity, state, atom mapping, validation decisions, and provenance.
How to Use mk_prepare_receptor for AutoDock Vina: Inputs, Output Files, and Reproducibility
Use mk_prepare_receptor to create AutoDock Vina receptor PDBQT and box files while documenting parsers, residue decisions, outputs, validation, and provenance.
What Is the PDBQT Format? Charges, Atom Types, and Torsions in AutoDock Vina
Learn what a PDBQT file stores, how ligand torsion trees differ from rigid receptor records, why bond orders can be lost, and what to inspect before an AutoDock Vina run.
Why Some Ligands Fail Before AutoDock Vina: A Practical SDF Preflight Checklist
An SDF file can load and still be unfit for docking. Diagnose valence, aromaticity, fragments, stereochemistry, hydrogens, 3D geometry, minimization, and PDBQT failures before AutoDock Vina.
How to Prepare Proteins and Ligands for AutoDock Vina
Prepare receptor and ligand inputs for AutoDock Vina with a reproducible workflow for structure selection, protonation, PDBQT generation, inspection, and preparation records.
