Hi Larry,

My guess is that you need a docking tool (like DOCKTHOR server;
https://dockthor.lncc.br/v2/).

So you pulled the protein structures from the web... the coordinates from
one is arbitrary to the other. If they interact in a way that forms a
protein-protein interface (PPI) then you need a PPI docking software also
to get the complex. But my guess is that you don't need the complex and the
small ligand will bind to only one of the proteins... I don't know.

Hope it helps,
Abraços,
