In bacteria, three main types of DNA polymerases are known: DNA pol I, DNA pol II, and DNA pol III. It is now known that DNA pol III is the enzyme required for DNA synthesis; DNA pol I and DNA pol II are primarily required for repair. DNA pol III adds deoxyribonucleotides each complementary to a nucleotide on the template strand, one by one to the 3′-OH group of the growing DNA chain. The addition of these nucleotides requires energy. This energy is present in the bonds of three phosphate groups attached to each nucleotide (a triphosphate nucleotide), similar to how energy is stored in the phosphate bonds of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) (Figure 3). When the bond between the phosphates is broken and diphosphate is released, the energy released allows for the formation of a covalent phosphodiester bond by dehydration synthesis between the incoming nucleotide and the free 3′-OH group on the growing DNA strand.

In eukaryotic cells, there are 5 families of DNA polymerase. These can encode into different (up to as many as 15) enzymes. Critical for DNA replication are three DNA polymerases: Polymerase α-primase, Polymerase δ, and Polymerase ε. These three polymerases function at the replication fork of the DNA strands.

Dear all:
My python version is 2.5 and autodock is 1.5.7, but my MGLtool folder shows up in python 2.7.11. I had opened the software before, but then there were some problems when it ran, so I uninstalled and reinstalled both Python and Autodock, and I had this problem when I opened it again.
Python 2.7.11 (v2.7.11:6d1b6a68f775, Dec 5 2015, 20:32:19) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32

Autodock tools error: unable to read parameter file?
Question

  • Kate StackKate Stack
Hello,
I am conducting a protein-metal docking in Autodock using an Arsenic compound and am unable to produce a proper GLG file. When I complete the autogrid I get the following error in the GLG file:
GPF> parameter_file AD4.1_bound.dat
Using read_parameter_library() to try to open and read "AD4.1_bound.dat".
/autogrid4.exe: FATAL ERROR: Sorry, I can't find or open AD4.1_bound.dat
/autogrid4.exe: Unsuccessful Completion.
I am unsure if the problem comes from an issue with the software, parameter file, or even python? The python shell shows some errors, but I don't know if that is just because the parameterization was unsuccessful.
To solve the issue I have tried the following steps but they did not fix the error:
  • After setting up grid, Output>Save GPF>”File.gpf”. Then opening up the File.gpf in the folder and adding “parameter_file AD4.1_bound.dat” to the very first line.
  • After saving the grid, selecting Other Options>Parameter Library Filename>Select file>Edit Parameter Library>Select File>OK>Output>Save GPF>”File.gpf” to directly add the parameter file to the GPF file using Autodock
  • Copying the parameter files from the vina website and adding only additional atoms of interest
  • No spaces in files/pathways and ensuring everything in the same workspace folder
  • Unchecked Read-only from properties of folder
  • Ran Autodock Tools as an administrator
  • Set "Startup Directory" as "C:\Workspace" from AutoDock Tools preferences.
Thank you very much.
