Subject: docking software for molecule-surface affinity ?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
X-UCL-MailScanner: Found to be clean

Dear all,

Can anybody point me to a (preferably free are reasonably priced)
software that can do docking between a given surface structure
and a range of organic molecules/polymers ? 

Can any of the programs that are used for bio-receptor/ligand
or protein-protein interactions (such as dock, autodock flexx, etc)
be used for this purpose ?

thanks in advance for any help!
cheers,
Michael
