Installing Raccoon2 plugin on Windows.
We have previously provided an article on the installation of the Raccoon2 plugin on Ubuntu. In this article, we are going to install Raccoon2 [1] on Windows.
Downloading Raccoon2
Download the Raccoon2 plugin from here. You can either download the zip file or the executable setup file. We are downloading the zip file.
Installing Raccoon2
After downloading finishes, extract the zip file. It will create a folder namely, ‘mgltools_win32_1.5.7rc1′.
Executing Raccoon2
Inside the new folder (mgltools_win32_1.5.7rc1), you will find several sub-folders. One of them is ‘CADD’. Move inside CADD –> Raccoon2 –> gui.
Inside the gui folder, you will find a script namely, ‘Raccoon2gui.py‘. Run this script in command prompt, it will open GUI of Raccoon2 where you can easily perform virtual screening using Autodock Vina. You may encounter some errors while running this script due to the Python version difference. You can update this script to the latest version of Python. Later, it should run fine.

While trying to install Matlab [1], it generally gives an error stating “matlab: command not found.”. Here, we provide a solution to this error.
Kpax is a bioinformatics program to search and align protein structures [1]. It is currently available for Linux platforms only. In this article, we are going to install the latest version of Kpax (5.1.3) on Ubuntu (Linux). (more…)
In the latest version of GROMACS (2022) [1], there are some issues regarding the gmx do_dssp command. Apparently, this command either does not run displaying a fatal error, or if it runs then it does not read any frame from MD simulation files. In this article, we are going to run the same command for GROMACS 2022. (more…)
