DOCK Blaster

DOCK Blaster is a free web based molecular docking and virtual screening service, on the web at http://blaster.docking.org. To get started, you will need at least:

  • The structure of the target in PDB format (preferred) or mol2 format
  • A specification of the binding site, which may be one of:
    • A docked ligand in mol2 format, which is also used to test the docking parameterization
    • "hot spots", in PDB format, which may be based on one or more ligands.
    • Atoms of residues forming the binding site. The center of inertia of these atoms should coincide with where you expect the ligand to go.

That's really all you need to get started. If you don't have a particular project in mind, and you are just curious about DOCK Blaster, you may use some sample data to experiment. To read more, please consult the topics below.
