AutoDock and related Autodock-vina, MGLTools
AutoDock is a suite of automated docking tools designed to predict how small molecules, such as drug candidates, bind to a receptor site of a known 3D structure. We have both AutoDock 4 and AutoDockTools (a GUI interface for working with autodock) installed.
- Version: 4.2.6
- Machines: All clusters
- Location: /uufs/chpc.utah.edu/sys/installdir/r8/autodock/4.2.6
For ADT, please use MGLTools installation:
- Version: 1.5.7
- Machines: All clusters
- Location: /uufs/chpc.utah.edu/sys/installdir/r8/mgltools/1.5.7
In addition to Autodock 4, we also have an installation of Autodock Vina, which is a new generation of docking software from the Molecular Graphics Lab. It is reported to achieve significant improvements in the average accuracy of the binding mode predictions, while also being up to two orders of magnitude faster than AutoDock 4. Because the scoring functions used by AutoDock 4 and AutoDock Vina are different and inexact, on any given problem, either program may provide a better result.
- Version: 1.2.3
- Machines: All clusters
- Location: /uufs/chpc.utah.edu/sys/installdir/r8/autodock-vina/1.2.3
Information on Autodock 4:
To get details of the functionality of AutoDock along with access to the User's Guide and Tutorial go to http://autodock.scripps.edu/. See autodock.scripps.edu/faqs-help/tutorial/using-autodock-4-with-autodocktools for links to tutorials.
To Use:
module load autodock
autodock4
To start the AutoDockTools interface issue the command
ml mgltools
