Discipline: Structural Biology | Tools Used: 4 | Servers: 3

Description

Characterize binding sites: predict pockets with fpocket and P2Rank, get binding site info from ChEMBL, and visualize.

Tools Used

  • run_fpocket from server-3 (streamable-http) - https://scp.intern-ai.org.cn/api/v1/mcp/3/DrugSDA-Model
  • pred_pocket_prank from server-3 (streamable-http) - https://scp.intern-ai.org.cn/api/v1/mcp/3/DrugSDA-Model
  • get_binding_site_by_id from chembl-server (streamable-http) - https://scp.intern-ai.org.cn/api/v1/mcp/4/Origene-ChEMBL
  • visualize_protein from server-2 (streamable-http) - https://scp.intern-ai.org.cn/api/v1/mcp/2/DrugSDA-Tool

Workflow

  1. Predict pockets with fpocket
  2. Predict pockets with P2Rank
  3. Get ChEMBL binding site data
  4. Visualize protein structure

Test Case

Input

{
    "pdb_code": "1AKE"
}

Expected Steps

  1. Predict pockets with fpocket
  2. Predict pockets with P2Rank
  3. Get ChEMBL binding site data
  4. Visualize protein structure

Usage Example

Note: Replace <YOUR_SCP_HUB_API_KEY> with your own SCP Hub API Key. You can obtain one from the SCP Platform.
