Description-en: GUI to help set up, launch and analyze AutoDock dockings
This package is part of the mgltools set of Python libraries which
provide an infrastructure for the analysis of protein structures and
their docking of chemical compounds.
.
AutoDock is a well established package for the automated screening of
libraries of formal representation of chemical compounds that putatively
bind to a particular protein at hand. This package provides a graphical
user interface that is helping with the preparation of the protein
for such analyses.
.
The tool AutoLigand, which may help to constrain the location of the
binding pocket for yet undescribed proteins, is accompanying the
main executable 'runAdt'.
