Re: Tips to run Docking/ doping Calculations using Firefly-8.0.1

Dear Alex,
Please answer this question Sir. I really need to know this. I need your guidance here. Is it sufficient to run MM for concluding the docking site on the base layer? Oncr it is confirmed, then I would prefer to run dft for sprcific properties.

Kind Regards,

But because DFT is a really expensive calculation, so I am on the backfoot. Could you please suggest me a simpler way to find the doping or docking sites for any foreign atoms on any molecules?
>Point me if I am wrong.... Does this solve my purpose if I attach the foreign atom on various sites of molecule under study and run MM calculations? Of course it will not give me accurate energies but is it sufficient to conclude and comment on the favourable doping/docking site? And then can run more accurate DFT calcs for other properties?
