[ccp4bb] Cavity is waiting unknown ligand

2011-08-10 Thread Heidi Tuominen

Dear All,

I have inside cavity in my protein structure with some conserved 
residues. We do not know function or ligand for that domain.


How I could find ligand candidates which fit to this cavity? Maybe 
somehow with pdbe?


Thank you,
Heidi

Hi Heidi

You can try hunting for similar structural motifs which are likely
to be involved in ligand binding or function:
http://www.russelllab.org/cgi-bin/tools/pints.pl

You can then try fitting suggested ligands to the cavity.

good luck
Alex
