Description

LiSiCA is a software for 2D and 3D ligand based virtual screening. It uses a fast maximum clique algorithm to find two- and three- dimensional similarities between reference compound and a database of target compounds in Mol2 format. The similarities are expressed using Tanimoto coefficients and the target compounds are ranked accordingly.

Plugin is developed and maintained by National Institute of Chemistry, Slovenia.

Requirements

The plugin should work on Winodws and all variety of Unix like systems. Most of the tests were performed on Windows 7, Ubuntu 14.04 and Linux Mint. To work properly, the plugin requires Python with Tkinter and PyMOL. The plugin was maily tested with PyMOL 1.7.

Installation

This plugin is ready "out-of-box" for both Linux and Windows users through the project Pymol-script-repo.

The lisica.py script initializes the installation of the plugin. It performs the following functionalities: 1. Downloads and installs all the required files (python modules, icons, executables). 2. Prompts user for Activation code on installation. (See section: Licensing) 3. Once the files are properly installed and the license activated, LiSiCA plugin version will be ready to use.

Important note: For complete installation of the plugin, a stable internet connection is required at the user end.

Plugin Features

1. Graphical User Interface which facilitate the choice of parameters for LiSiCA. 2. Results displayed according to the ranking in similarities as measured by Tanimoto coefficients. 3. Similarity between molecules visualized on PyMOL viewer.
