A model of PDE5 constructed from the crystal structure of tadalafil bound to the catalytic domain of PDE5 was obtained from the protein databank (PDB ID: 1UDT). Schrödinger Suite 2008 was used for molecular modeling studies using the induced fit protocol and parameters described in [31 (link),34 (link)]. The docking protocol and parameters were first validated by docking tadalafil to the PDE5 catalytic domain; they were then used to model SSA docking in the catalytic domain of PDE5.
