Welcome to PyPLIF-HIPPOS’s project page. PyPLIF-HIPPOS is an upgraded version of PyPLIF (Python-based Protein-Ligand Interaction Fingerprinting), a tool for molecular docking post-analysis. It will translate the 3D coordinates of both ligand(s) (generated from docking simulation) and protein into a series of interaction bitstring (also known as Interaction Fingerprint) (see image below). HIPPOS (/ˌhipoʊz/) is a recursive acronym of HIPPOS Is PyPLIF On Steroids. From this point forward, PyPLIF-HIPPOS is simplified to HIPPOS.

Compared to PyPLIF, HIPPOS is not only faster and able to generate more customized interaction bitstring, but also supports both PLANTS & Vina! More over, unlike its predecessor it is (far) more well-documented.

Quick Installation

The easiest way to install HIPPOS is using Anaconda or Miniconda. If you have Anaconda or Miniconda ready in your machine, you can start with creating new environment (recommended):

conda create -n hippos python=3.6

Then activate the environment and install HIPPOS:

conda activate hippos
conda install -c conda-forge pyplif-hippos

next you can try run HIPPOS and HIPPOS-GENREF with the following command:

hippos
hippos-genref

How to Use HIPPOS

So I already installed HIPPOS, now what? Well you could start with how to generate the reference bitstring and Getting Started tutorial for AutoDock Vina or PLANTS.
