Introduction:

The calculation of solvent site clusters allows to generate information related to the area, time, and type of interactions. That said, we present a brief tutorial for calculating solvent sites using the results of the molecular dynamics run with mixed solvents as input information.

Check the path in the next files: /inputs/run_sugar.sh vmd hotspot directory path e.g yourpath/hotspots/

You can open the run_sugar.sh file and write the path of your choice. Usually, you should change the path where you have installed VMD and where you saved the sugar_clusters directory, they are highlighted in bold.

1. !/bin/bash

rm sugar.out time vmd -dispdev text -e yourpath/sugar_clusters_tcl/ main.tcl -args $@ > sugar.out 2>&1

sugar_clusters_tcl/main.tcl set dir ”yourpath/hotspots/sugar_clusters_tcl” You can open the main.tcl file and write your working directory path as highlighted in bold.

1. set dir [lindex $argv 2]

set dir "yourpath/hotspots/sugar_clusters_tcl"

Run the script: yourpath/hotspots/inputs/$ ./run_sugar.sh

Note: You can check the run status by opening the sugar.out file.

Open results and references in VMD. Go to your outputs directory. There you will find the following files: Outputs References 5SC5-A.pdb 4mrhA_ref.pdb cd44_10_14_FEN_DU Molsites SS_Res_AT.pdb SS_Res_AT.csv Overlaps overlap_Res_AT.pdb temp_Res_AT.pdb rmsd_fit.csv Restime SS_#_Res_AT.site

Open VMD to analyze the results.

yourpath/hotspots/outputs/$ vmd -m receptor_ref.pdb 5SC5-A.pdb SS_Res_AT.pdb

Set the representations to analyze the results.
