WATsite, a free useful tool for hydration site prediction

已有 3143 次阅读 2015-5-4 22:29 |个人分类:科研笔记|系统分类:科研笔记

All protein ligand interactions take place in bulk environment. It is important to predict how water molecules in the binding pocket affect their interactions. Thus, a number of tools, including WATsite, Waterdock, Schrodinger Watermap, OpenEYE SZMAP and WaterLap, were developed for this purpose which become very useful for lead optimization.


However, most of the commercial tools in this area are unbelievably expensive and most users actually use them only for foreseeing 1 or 2 projects. As a free open source tool, WATsite (http://people.pharmacy.purdue.edu/~mlill/software/watsite) gives us reliable water fingerprint diagram of protein-ligand interactions in PYMOL.
