Gapped BLAST and PSI-BLAST: a new generation of protein database search programs.
Stephen F. Altschul,Thomas L. Madden,Alejandro A. Schäffer,Jinghui Zhang,Zheng Zhang,Webb Miller,David J. Lipman +6 more
TL;DR: A new criterion for triggering the extension of word hits, combined with a new heuristic for generating gapped alignments, yields a gapped BLAST program that runs at approximately three times the speed of the original.
AutoDock Vina: Improving the speed and accuracy of docking with a new scoring function, efficient optimization, and multithreading
Oleg Trott,Arthur J. Olson +1 more
TL;DR: AutoDock Vina achieves an approximately two orders of magnitude speed‐up compared with the molecular docking software previously developed in the lab, while also significantly improving the accuracy of the binding mode predictions, judging by tests on the training set used in AutoDock 4 development.
KEGG: Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes
Minoru Kanehisa,Susumu Goto +1 more
TL;DR: The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) as discussed by the authors is a knowledge base for systematic analysis of gene functions in terms of the networks of genes and molecules.
AutoDock4 and AutoDockTools4: Automated docking with selective receptor flexibility
Garrett M. Morris,Ruth Huey,William Lindstrom,Michel F. Sanner,Richard K. Belew,David S. Goodsell,Arthur J. Olson +6 more
TL;DR: AutoDock4 incorporates limited flexibility in the receptor and its utility in analysis of covalently bound ligands is reported, using both a grid‐based docking method and a modification of the flexible sidechain technique.
