SOURCE

Durant Lab

DESCRIPTION

Enumerate charge forms using Dimorphite-DL. Typically the number of molecules output is 5 - 10 times greater than the number input.

A typical use is for preparing ligands for docking where having the correct charge state of the ligand can be essential for effective scoring.

INPUTS

A dataset of molecules.

OUTPUTS

A dataset of enumerated charge forms. The UUID of the input molecule is included in the output molecules.

OPTIONS

Min pH The minimum pH to consider (default 5.0)
Max pH The maximum pH to consider (default 9.0)
Fragment method The method to use to generate the largest fragment (if multiple fragments are found). Choice is Heavy atom count (HAC) or Molecular weight (MW).

ADDITIONAL INFO

Dimorphite-DL comes from the Durrant lab at the University of Pittsburgh. For more info see:
