AutoDock

AutoDock is molecular modeling simulation software. It is especially effective for protein-ligand docking. AutoDock 4 is available under the GNU General Public License. AutoDock is one of the most cited docking software applications in the research community.[1] It is a base for the FightAIDS@Home and OpenPandemics - COVID-19 projects run at World Community Grid, to search for antivirals against HIV/AIDS and COVID-19[2]. In February 2007, a search of the ISI Citation Index showed more than 1,100 publications had been cited using the primary AutoDock method papers. As of 2009, this number surpassed 1,200.

AutoDock Vina is a successor of AutoDock, significantly improved in terms of accuracy and performance.[3] It is available under the Apache license.

Both AutoDock and Vina are currently maintained by Scripps Research, specifically the Center for Computational Structural Biology (CCSB) led by Dr. Arthur J. Olson[4][5]

Programs

AutoDock consists of two main programs:[6]

  • AutoDock for docking of the ligand to a set of grids describing the target protein;
  • AutoGrid for pre-calculating these grids.

Usage of AutoDock has contributed to the discovery of several drugs, including HIV1 integrase inhibitors.[7][8]

Platform support

AutoDock runs on Linux, Mac OS X, SGI IRIX, and Microsoft Windows.[9] It is available as a package in several Linux distributions, including Debian,[10][11] Fedora,[12] and Arch Linux.[13]

Compiling the application in native 64-bit mode on Microsoft Windows enables faster floating-point operation of the software.[14]

Improved versions

AutoDock Vina

AutoDock has a successor, AutoDock Vina, which has an improved local search routine and makes use of multicore/multi-CPU computer setups.[3]

AutoDock Vina has been noted for running significantly faster under 64-bit Linux operating systems in several World Community Grid projects that used the software[15]

Third-party improvements and tools

As an open source project, AutoDock has gained several third-party improved versions such as:

  • Improved calculation routines on the GPU using OpenCL.[16]
  • Scoring and Minimization with AutoDock Vina (smina) is a fork of AutoDock Vina with improved support for scoring function development and energy minimization.[17]
  • Off-Target Pipeline allows integration of AutoDock within bigger projects.[18]
  • Consensus Scoring ToolKit provides rescoring of AutoDock Vina poses with multiple scoring functions and calibration of consensus scoring equations.[19]
  • VSLAB is a VMD plug-in that allows the use of AutoDock directly from VMD.[20]
  • PyRx provides a nice GUI for running virtual screening with AutoDock. PyRx includes a docking wizard and you can use it to run AutoDock Vina in the Cloud or HPC cluster.[21]
  • POAP is a shell-script-based tool which automates AutoDock for virtual screening from ligand preparation to post docking analysis.[22]
  • VirtualFlow allows to carry out ultra-large virtual screenings on computer clusters and the cloud using AutoDock Vina-based docking programs, allowing to routinely screen billions of compounds.[23]

FPGA acceleration

Using general programmable chips as co-processors, specifically the OMIXON experimental product,[24] speedup was within the range 10x-100x the speed of standard Intel Dual Core 2 GHz CPU.[25]

gollark: I suspect that the likelihood of words gaining multiple meanings/entering common use is inversely related to their length and also complexity of pronounciation/how pretentious it sounds.
gollark: I don't think so.
gollark: Also, I must ask, which part of a circuit?
gollark: Why a circuit?
gollark: Antidisestablishmentarianism.
