Research articles, tutorials, and practical guidance tagged Receptor Preparation.
Find a method, workflow, scientific concept, or software decision.
Build a kinase-specific Vina protocol around receptor state, the hinge and DFG motif, controlled preparation, pose review, and validation—without mistaking a hinge contact for proof of inhibition.

Evidence-led articles on scientific methods, reproducible workflows, and software decisions.
Use mk_prepare_receptor to create AutoDock Vina receptor PDBQT and box files while documenting parsers, residue decisions, outputs, validation, and provenance.
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.
Decide which waters, metals, ions, and cofactors belong in a docking receptor by biological role, structural evidence, ligand mechanism, force-field compatibility, and controlled validation.
Prepare receptor and ligand inputs for AutoDock Vina with a reproducible workflow for structure selection, protonation, PDBQT generation, inspection, and preparation records.
