Molecular docking is the process of posing, scoring and ranking small molecules in the binding sites of proteins. Typically, a large database of molecules is screened and ranked using a scoring function, the top scoring compounds are reviewed in a hit picking party and then purchased and tested experimentally.
There are many good molecular docking programs. DOCK is the implementation of molecular docking and virtual screening that we develop and use at UCSF.
