FRED 2.1 released - fast, effective docking of ligand within an active site

OpenEye is pleased to announce FRED 2.1, the latest release of an accurate and extremely fast docking program. For every ligand, FRED systematicly searches all possible poses within a protein active site, filtering for shape complementarity and pharmacophoric features before evaluating with several scoring functions. 
 Key new features in FRED 2.1 include:
7 the use of multiple scoring functions during pose selection. This consensus pose selection significantly improves the likelihood that the ligand is placed in the correct binding mode; 7 a more accurate version of the ChemGauss scoring function with significantly better hydrogen-bond perception; 
 7 customizable scoring functions and flexible consensus scoring methods;
 7 greatly expanded documentation; and
7 docking analysis tools for investigating how various parameter settings affect the reproduction of known structures of ligand-receptor complexes.
