WarPP predicts the position and orientation of water molecules in small-molecule binding sites. It places and scores water molecules in binding sites of crystallographic structures based on EDIAscorer results and interaction geometries as known from experimentally solved protein structures. WarPP was validated on a high-quality set of 1,500 protein-ligand complexes, containing 20,000 crystallographically observed water molecules. It is sufficiently fast for high-throughput analyses. It correctly places water molecules in approx. 80% of the cases. Users can export the predictions as PDB files for, e.g., molecular docking with JAMDA.
