DOCK3.8:Pydock3

pydock3 is a Python package wrapping the DOCK Fortran program that provides tools to help standardize and automate the computational methods employed in molecular docking.

Scripts included in pydock3:

• blastermaster: generate a specific docking configuration for a given receptor and ligand
• dockopt: generate many different docking configurations, perform retrospective docking on them in parallel using a specified job scheduler (e.g. Slurm), and analyze the results.

A docking configuration is a unique set of DOCK parameter files (e.g., matching_spheres.sph) and INDOCK parameter values.

Installation
