DOCK: Where it is and where its going

Abstract. The primary goals of docking methods are two: (1) ligand discovery, finding new molecules that bind a protein of interest; and (2) pose prediction: identifying how a molecule binds its receptor. Today, there are many molecular docking programs that perform these procedures. Each has their own flavor of sampling and scoring. Here, I will describe the current versions of DOCK -- the pioneering and well tested docking method -- and how it works: specifically, the scoring functions and sampling routines. Although DOCK v6.8 and DOCK v3.7 share the same orienting procedure, there are substantial differences. I will describe the general methodologies (going into their strengths and weaknesses), the available resources for users, and the future directions of software development.
