Abstract:
The paper presents the VEGA Online web service, which includes a set of freely available tools deriving from the development of the VEGA suite of programs. In detail, the paper is focused on two tools: the VEGA Web Edition (WE) and the Score tool. The former is a versatile file format converter including relevant features for 2D/3D conversion, for surface mapping and for editing/preparing input files. The Score application allows rescoring docking poses and in particular includes the MLP Interactions Scores (MLPInS) for describing hydrophobic interactions. To the best of our knowledge, this web service is the only available resource by which one can calculate both the virtual log P of a given input molecule according to the MLP approach plus the corresponding MLP surface.

Ligand Binding Sites
Protein-ligand interactions are quite specific; even though numerous potential ligands surround a cellular protein at any given time, only a particular ligand can bind to that protein. Moreover, a ligand binds only to a dedicated area on the surface of the protein, known as the...
