AutoDock Vina: Improving the speed and accuracy of docking with a new scoring function, efficient optimization, and multithreading

TL;DR: AutoDock Vina achieves an approximately two orders of magnitude speed‐up compared with the molecular docking software previously developed in the lab, while also significantly improving the accuracy of the binding mode predictions, judging by tests on the training set used in AutoDock 4 development.
Journal ArticleDOI

AutoDock4 and AutoDockTools4: Automated docking with selective receptor flexibility

TL;DR: AutoDock4 incorporates limited flexibility in the receptor and its utility in analysis of covalently bound ligands is reported, using both a grid‐based docking method and a modification of the flexible sidechain technique.
Journal ArticleDOI

Automated docking using a Lamarckian genetic algorithm and an empirical binding free energy function

TL;DR: It is shown that both the traditional and Lamarckian genetic algorithms can handle ligands with more degrees of freedom than the simulated annealing method used in earlier versions of AUTODOCK, and that the Lamarckia genetic algorithm is the most efficient, reliable, and successful of the three.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reduced surface: An efficient way to compute molecular surfaces

TL;DR: A program called MSMS is shown to be fast and reliable in computing molecular surfaces, which relies on the use of the reduced surface that is briefly defined here and from which the solvent-accessible and solvent-excluded surfaces are computed.
Journal ArticleDOI

A semiempirical free energy force field with charge-based desolvation.

TL;DR: The authors describe the development and testing of a semiempirical free energy force field for use in AutoDock4 and similar grid‐based docking methods based on a comprehensive thermodynamic model that allows incorporation of intramolecular energies into the predicted free energy of binding.
