AutoDock Vina

AutoDock Vina is a new program for drug discovery, molecular docking and virtual screening, offering multi-core capability, high performance and enhanced accuracy and ease of use.[1]


AutoDock Vina has been designed and implemented by Dr. Oleg Trott in the Molecular Graphics Lab at The Scripps Research Institute.

The image on the left illustrates the results of flexible docking (green) superimposed on the crystal structures of (a) indinavir, (b) atorvastatin, (c) imatinib, and (d) oseltamivir bound to their targets.
