AutoDock Vina Example

AutoDock Vina is generally used to model molecular docking and for virtual screening; a process important for drug discovery and other molecular analysis. AutoDock Vina is an improved version with superior local search routine and makes use of multicore/multi-CPU computer setups.

With its simple workflow, Rescale’s ScaleX platform can be used to run complicated molecular docking sequences using AutoDock Vina in batch mode.
