Parameter Descriptions

output_file_prefix
gives the basic name for the output file or files containing ligand orientations. In SINGLE mode, there is one output file of ligand orientations for each sphere cluster that is used for docking. In SEARCH mode, the number of ligand output files per sphere cluster used for docking equals the number of types of scoring to be done (twice this number if molecules are also to be saved according to their normalized scores, that is, if normalize_save is greater than 0). Each of the top-scoring molecules is output in its best-scoring orientation. The string norm is appended to indicate the file containing the top normalized score ligands, the string eel indicates the top electrostatic score ligands, and the string ff indicates the top force field score ligands. In all cases the final suffix to the name is the number of the cluster used in docking. For example, the suffix eelnorm1 indicates that the file contains the ligands with the top normalized electrostatic scores generated by docking to cluster number 1. The output is in extended PDB format, which is standard PDB format up through the coordinates columns, but has additional information in subsequent columns. Extended PDB format may be converted to standard PDB format with the x2pdb utility. Depending on the input, not all of this information may be available; whenever it is not available, zeroes are output. REMARK cards are used for reporting scores and (if available) molecule names.

output_hydrogens
specifies whether or not ligand hydrogens should be included in the output, if present in the database. If output_hydrogens is yes, hydrogens will be included in the output. In any case, ligand hydrogens are not used for matching, orientation, or contact scoring.
