[Chimera-users] volume data to numpy array

Dear Chimera,

How do you read/copy volume data into a numpy array. I think I saw some code examples that do this in the past but I can't find the ink to them.

Thanks

Hernando

Hello Utkarsh,
You would need to change the names of any hydrogens that start with HN to something else, e.g. HN41 -> H41

I cannot delete these atoms as they are important for docking. Hence, I am attaching the ligand file in the MOL2 format and snip of the ligand with Hn atom type with this mail for your reference. I would like to know your valuable input in resolving the error.

Those messages from Autodock Vina are saying that it does not recognize atom types Ho (holmium??) and Hc (which is not even an element symbol).  Without your providing an example input that shows the problem, my only guess is that you have hydrogens with 4-character atom names that start with HO and HC which makes Autodock scripts guess that they are different elements (instead of hydrogen).   I don't know if Chimera added those hydrogens or if they were already in your ligand files when you opened them.

So you may not need to use Dock Prep at all, because the Autodock Vina tool already has an option to add hydrogens in Chimera (see the "Receptor options" in the tool).

Instead you would have to either manually edit your ligand atom names to avoid 4-character hydrogen names starting with HO (if my theory that 4-character atom names are the problem is correct).

For a more intensive sampling of space, as needed for most research applications, or access to other options such as ligand database search, we recommend running the locally installed copy of AutoDock Vina directly (not using Chimera)."

While docking the same using AutoDock Vina function in Chimera , we encountered few errors for some of the ligands. The errors are explained as follows :
