What problem does it solve?
The ligandmpnn Skill addresses the challenge of designing proteins with specific ligand-binding sites, enabling scientists to tailor protein structures to accommodate small molecules or cofactors.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Design Ligand-Binding Sites: Redesign residues around a bound ligand or cofactor.
- Metal-Coordinating Sites: Design metal-coordinating sites with specified geometry.
- PDB Output: Generate threaded designed-sequence PDB files for further processing.
- Use Case: If you need to redesign the binding pocket of a protein to accommodate a new ligand, or design a metal-binding site for a therapeutic application, this skill can help you achieve your goals.
Quick Start
Run the ligandmpnn skill with the following command: ligandmpnn run.py --model_type ligand_mpnn --checkpoint_ligand_mpnn ./model_params/ligandmpnn_v_32_010_25.pt --pdb_path complex.pdb --out_folder out --batch_size 8 --number_of_batches 4 --temperature 0.1 --fixed_residues "A45 A46 A47 A48"
