LigandFit- Zero Pose on In-bound Ligand (PDB:1m52)

Dear All,

I am have been trying to dock the in-bound ligand of PDB 1m52, back to protein as according to the recommended protocol (http://www.nmr.sinica.edu.tw/Course/Course20080311/doc/DS20_2Dock(ligandfit).pdf)

but I cant. Anyone can help?

Procedure I did :

1) 'Clean' the crystal structure

2) "Structure\Remove Cell

3) Remove water

4) Cut out the in-bound ligand, paste to another 3D windows (Molecule)

5) Apply forcefield "CHARMm" on Protein - A & B ; "CHARMm on Molecule"

6) Select Protein A and B as Receptor "Tool\Binding Site\Define Selected Residue as Receptor"

7) Find binding Site from receptor cavities

8) Protocol \ Docking (LigandFit) - Input Receptor : 1m52 ; Input Ligand : Molecule ; Binding Site : SIte 1

9)

a) Output : Zero pose

may I know whether my protocol is correct or not? Why would i get no shape matching when this is a small molecule which is an in-bound ligand to the crystal strucuture ?

Appreciate your help ! =)

Thank you
