Input Fields

Unit Molecule

It is possible to specify the PDB code of the unit molecule or upload file in PDB format. Each code is a four character PDB ID, followed by a colon and a list of chain IDs, e.g. 2pka:AB. If no chain IDs are given, all the chains of the PDB file are used.

Symmetry Order

Number of unit molecules in the multimer complex.

Optional Input Fields

Binding Site

If you have a credible data of potential contact residues between the monomers, you may specify it as a list of residues in an uploaded file. The file has to be in the following format: [residues index] [chain ID] [newline].... (if there is no chain ID then residue index is sufficient). We suggest not to specify less than four residues. If you know only one residue, insert its neighboring residues (surface residues) as well.

An example file site.txt:

88 L 89 L 90 L 91 L 92 L 93 L 95 H 96 H 101 H 102 H

Given the structure of the asymmetric unit of the multimer complex, SymmDock predicts the structure of the entire complex. The list is presented to the user in the format of a table, where each row represents one candidate complex. The format of the table is as listed below.

Field Description
Solution No Number of the solution.
Score Geometric shape complementarity score (see reference 1 for details). The solutions are sorted according to this score.
Area Approximate interface area of the complex.
ACE Atomic contact energy according to Zhang et al. (see reference 2).
Transformation 3D transformation: 3 rotational angles and 3 translational parameters.
PDB File of the Complex The predicted complex structure in PDB format.
Download PDB files with complexes In addition, the server provides an option to download up to 100 top ranking candidate complexes in the PDB format in one zipped file. The user may specify the number of solutions and the server will prepare a zip file for download.
