Watvina facilitates drug design with support for explicit or implicit waters, pharmacophore or position-constrained docking, and external torsion parameters (akin to amber/gaff/charmm force fields).
1.1 Receptor and ligand(s) should be carefully prepared. KEEP ALL THE NON-POLAR AND POLAR HYDROGENS.
1.3 Hydroxy hydrogens which do not formed intra hydrogen bond in the receptor are suggested to be flexible. Another method is to change the OA and HD atom types to OW and HW respectively.
Opendx format was not supported now, but later on it will be online. In addition, the desolvation weight has to be adjusted mannually due to the energy calculated from different methods.
watvina --config vina.conf --water water.pdb
In the water.pdb file with energy value (calculated from GIST, WATSite, Watermap, lesite etc) in the beta factor column. Keep the Oxygen atoms only, and with a resname HOH.
Desolvation was calculated from water probe generated energy map

where resname for pharmacophore type; occupancyfor cutoff distance and b-factor for contribution weight.
If only keep the HVY, the heavy atoms, the model is quite similar to a molecular shape,
while other pharmacophores for the colors in shape.
watvina can generate a initial template ph4.pdb file based on the protein and ligand interaction.
watvina --config vina.conf --score_only --genph4
other pharmacophores:
DON: hbond donor;
ARO: for aromatic carbons;
PCG: for positively charged nitroge or guanidine carbon;
NCG: for negatively charged center;
SGM: Cl, Br, I, S;
HYP: hydrophobic atoms(hydrophobic carbon, Cl, Br, I)
HVY: any heavy atoms(not hydrogen)
position constrained docking is useful for FEP, enzymatic pre-active pose prediction...
watvina --config vina.conf --tramplitude 0
--tramplitude 0 will freeze the ROOT of the ligand.
watvina --config vina.conf --toramplitude 0
--toramplitude 0 will frozen the torsions of the ligand
2.7 The pdbqt files for receptors and ligands are prepared from their pdb file by mgltools, or from rdkit2pdbqt.py(using opencadd,)
