DOCK 6 is written in C++ and is functionally separated into independent components, allowing a high degree of program flexibility. Accessory programs are written in C and Fortran 77. We provide source code for all programs.
The DOCK suite of programs has modest disk space and memory requirements.
The new features of
DOCK 6 include: genetic algorithms and de novo design for fragment based
ligand searching; additional scoring options during minimization; DOCK 3.5 scoring-including Delphi electrostatics, ligand conformational entropy corrections, ligand desolvation, receptor desolvation; Hawkins-Cramer-Truhlar GB/SA solvation scoring with optional salt screening;
and AMBER scoring-including receptor flexibility, the full AMBER molecular mechanics scoring function with implicit solvent, conjugate gradient minimization, and molecular dynamics simulation capabilities.
Because DOCK 6 is an extension of DOCK 5, it also includes all previous features.
