&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;lt;h1&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;AUTODOCK&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/h1&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
__TOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;font color=red&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Description:&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/font color&amp;gt; &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;&amp;lt;i&amp;gt;AutoDock&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; is a suite of automated docking tools. It is designed to predict how small molecules, such as substrates or drug candidates, bind to a receptor of known 3D structure. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;font color=red&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Additional Notes:&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/font color&amp;gt;  Current distributions of &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;&amp;lt;i&amp;gt;AutoDock&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; consist of two generations of software: &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;&amp;lt;i&amp;gt;AutoDock 4&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;&amp;lt;i&amp;gt;AutoDock Vina&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;. The latter is a new generation of docking software from the Molecular Graphics Lab. It achieves significant improvements in the average accuracy of the binding mode predictions, while also being up to two orders of magnitude faster than &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;&amp;lt;i&amp;gt;AutoDock 4.1&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Because the scoring functions used by &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;&amp;lt;i&amp;gt;AutoDock 4&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;&amp;lt;i&amp;gt;AutoDock Vina&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; are different and inexact, on any given problem, either program may provide a better result.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Please note that preparing the input files for &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;&amp;lt;i&amp;gt;AutoDock 4&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; require use of &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;&amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Autodock&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; tool set. The use of the later is not described in this document. &lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;&amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Autodock&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; example requires several files, which are prepared &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;&amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Autodock&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; tool set and placed in &amp;lt;font face=&amp;quot;courier&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;/share/apps/autodock/default/example/in&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/font&amp;gt; directory.
