Many of the projects on World Community Grid have used the AutoDock suite of tools to search for drug candidates to fight various diseases. The researcers at The Scripps Research Institute, who developed the AutoDock tools, have published a paper in Nature Protocols describing the virtual screening process using this suite of tools. This paper provides interesting ideas and instructions to other researchers who may want to screen for drug candidates against protein targets.
