The DOCK Blaster Progress Bar tells you where you are in the docking pipeline.

There are six stages, some with several substages, as follows: Preparer, Scrutinizer, Target Preparation, Calibration, Docking, and Results.

Preparer

The preparer assists you in preparing a job. Here you upload your data to the DOCK Blaster server. For more information about the data formats, please see Prepare Input.


Scrutinizer

This is the page you see immediately after pressing the "DOCK" button. Your data are uploaded to the server, and the Scrutinizer checks the data for consistency. For more information about the Scrutinizer, and the many ways it can complain about your data, please see Scrutinizer.


Target Preparation

This is the stage where we process your uploaded files, preparing hot spots and precalculating scoring grids. We also prepare any libraries of compounds for calibration calculations. There are three stages of target preparation.

Queued (Q'd)

Your job has been submitted to the server, but has not yet started. It will start as soon as system limits allow.

Running

Your job is running.

Done

Target preparation has ended normally. Usually, we go straight into calibration, so you may never see this stage.


Calibration

Calibration is the process of performing control calculations to investigate whether docking is "working" against your target. More info needed here.

Queued

Your calibration jobs are queued and will start when system resources allow.

Running

Your calibration jobs are running.


Done

Your calibration jobs have ended. This is the stage where your input is required, prior to full database docking. View the calibration results, pick the best conditions, satisfy yourself that docking is working, and then launch a database docking job.


Docking

This is when real database docking is done.

Queued

Your docking job is queued.

Running

Your docking jobs are running.


Results

Your docking jobs have ended. You may now look at the results.
