What is the naming convention for ligand output files?

Modified on Thu, 1 Aug, 2024 at 12:21 PM

The result of each docking attempt is written out as:

gold_soln_<ligand_name>_m#_n.mol2

where n is the solution number 1,2,3 ... and m# is the number of the ligand, i.e. m1 for the first ligand, m2 for the second, etc.

Please note that the file gold_soln_<ligand_name>_m1_1.mol2 is not necessarily the best GOLD prediction, it is only the solution found in the first docking attempt. However, as GOLD proceeds, symbolic links are created, such that ranked_<ligand_name>_m#_1.mol2 will always point to the current top-ranked solution, ranked_<ligand_name>_m#_2.mol2 will point to the second-best solution, and so on.​
