Unfortunately, even when working with a high-resolution x-ray crystallographic structure, researchers can spend considerable time and effort correcting common problems such as missing hydrogen atoms, incomplete side chains and loops, ambiguous protonation states, and flipped residues.


Schrödinger’s Protein Preparation Wizard is designed to help researchers ensure structural correctness at the outset of a project, equipping them with a high-confidence structure ideal for use with a wide variety of modeling applications.Įxperienced modelers know that accurate starting structures are a prerequisite for successful computational drug design. Left untreated, common problems with experimentally-derived structures can lead to wasted time and resources.

Successful structure-based modeling projects demand not only accurate software, but accurate starting structures as well.
