# Astex PLI #

PLI is a program developed at Astex Pharmaceuticals for scoring protein-ligand
interactions. Interacting atoms are defined using a [modified][mcconkey]
[Voronoi partitioning][voronoi] and interaction propensities (including geometric
preferences) have been derived from over 30,000 [PDB][pdb] entries.

Much of the PLI methodology was published recently:

**Protein-Ligand-Informatics force field (PLIff): towards a fully knowledge driven “force field” for biomolecular interactions**

M.L. Verdonk, R.F. Ludlow, I. Giangreco, and P.C. Rathi

*J. Med. Chem., Just Accepted Manuscript*

DOI: [10.1021/acs.jmedchem.6b00716][doi]

We are actively developing the PLI code and will release an updated version in July 2016.

## Features ##
* Score protein-ligand interactions (for example docking/VS poses)
* Solvent Mapping
* Generate Interaction Maps for Donor/Acceptor/Lipophile etc.
* Rich atom-typing

## Installation ##

### System Requirements ###

PLI is written in C and has been developed and tested on 64-bit Linux (CentOS)
using the gcc compiler. It has no major external dependencies.

### Obtaining the Code ###

#### Download ####
* A zip of the current repository and tagged releases (as they become
available) can be found at [bitbucket][downloads].

#### Via Git ####
* You can fork the repository on bitbucket (you will need an account)
or clone the repository from the command line
```bash
git clone https://bitbucket.org/AstexUK/pli.git
```

### Installing ###

Once you have obtained the code (either by extracting a snapshot or
cloning the repository:

* `cd` to the directory ``
* Type `make` in ``. This should compile the code and create a binary `/bin/pli`.
* Set the environment variable `PLI_DIR` to ``, e.g. for bash:
```bash
PLI_DIR=/path/to/pli
export PLI_DIR
```
* Try running one of the examples in the examples directory, e.g:
```bash
cd $PLI_DIR/examples
$PLI_DIR/bin/pli -settings $PLI_DIR/examples/1a9u_contacts.pli
```

## Modes ##
To see a list of modes and command-line options run
```sh
$PLI_DIR/bin/pli -help
```

## Get In Touch ##
If you have questions about PLI or have found it useful, let us know, on bitbucket or
