is now disconnected from the 2D loading process, above. We now use
ChemAxon’s package and the command line tool CXCALC to calculate
protonation states and tautomers at or near physiologically relevant
pH69 (link) in three pH tranches. These are physiological,
covering roughly pH 6.4 to 8.4, high, roughly pH 8.4 to 9.0, and low,
roughly pH 5.8 to 6.4. Each protomer is rendered into 3D using Jchem’s
molconvert (ChemAxon, Budapest, Hungary) and conformationally sampled
using Omega100 (link) (OpenEye Scientific Software,
Santa Fe NM).101 Atomic charges and desolvation
penalties are calculated using AMSOL 7.1102 and our previously published protocol.103 (link) Files are formatted for docking as flexibase files,70 (link),104 (link) mol2,105 sdf,106 and pdbqt.107
