ABSTRACT
In the past few years, several docking tools have been developed for molecular dockings such as LeDock, rDock, AutoDock Vina, AutoDock, UCSF DOCK, GOLD, Glide, Surflex-Dock, LigandFit and MOE-Dock. Among these, AutoDock Vina has been widely used by academia for molecular docking. This tool performs docking of a ligand into a protein by seven steps. For docking analysis of several ligands, AutoDock Vina is a time-consuming tool. In order to make AutoDock Vina more efficient and smart way, a platform has been developed in this study. It is designated “Let’s Dock”. By using this platform, we can perform a docking analysis of several ligands into a protein with AutoDock Vina by just submitting ligands and protein pdb files. Apart from thermodynamic data analysis this platform also calculates descriptors and Lipinski’s rule parameters (Rule of Five) of a ligand by a single click.
