Dear ALL:
NEW YEAR GREETINGS!

while thinking off about docking programs:

1. Why do actually we use different docking programs for thier
predictions of lead compounds,etc.
2. Why different scoring functions needed.
could anybody point out some references/reasons about that 
 
About GENERAL:

1. where do i find some good references about computational chemistry &
structural informatics.
2. where do i find programs that deals with the solvation especially for
drug discovery.  

Thanks in advance,
