Hi Folks!


I've been fascinated looking at the 'application window' (A-Current Dockings, B-Docking Energies, and C-Best Docking Energy), but I can't understand anything of it.
Is it possible to explain in simple words what the three sub-windows mean?
For instance, in A-Current Dockings: we see puzzled lines and some colored balls with different sizes. I guess such balls are related with B-Docking Energies (with the same colors the small '+' symbols have), but what do those things stand for? What do electrostatic energy has to do with non-bonded-energy and with the HIV protease or with the drug's right shape? Are they "best ones" because of their colors, place in the vectors, both or none?
What's the best docking-energy (C-Best Docking Energy)? How can we understand such chart?
How can one identify whether the current task is reaching 'better' or 'worse' results (concerning the purpose of attaching to the HIV protease) than the former one?
Is is possible to understand the whole process?

Thanks very much for explaining that, if possible.
