Dear AutoDock users and others interested in receptor-ligand docking
 and
 virtual screening,
Today we have concluded our beta test of  AutoDock Vina and are
 announcing the first full release of AutoDock Vina 1.0
AutoDock Vina, a new docking code developed by Oleg Trott in my lab.
 AutoDock Vina uses the same format for the ligand and receptor files as
 AutoDock4, which can be prepared by AutoDock Tools, however its input
 is
 much simpler, and there is no need to run AutoGrid before runing the
 docking.  The scoring and optimization procedures in AutoDock Vina are
 quite different than those in AutoDock4.
A paper announcing and describing AutoDock Vina is now published
 online
 by the Journal of Computational Chemistry.
 http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/122439542/abstract
 In the paper we compare its performance relative to AutoDock4. We have
 found AutoDock Vina is considerably faster than AutoDock4, with
 comparable or better  docked structures for many complexes.
AutoDock Vina 1.0  is distributed as binary executables for Linux and
 Windows and Mac platforms.  It can be downloaded from
 http://vina.scripps.edu or via links from http://autodock.scripps.edu
Changes from the previous beta version can be found at

 Thanks,
 Art Olson
