.SH NAME
autodock \- docking of chemical ligands to protein receptors
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B autodock4
.RI [ options ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
AutoDock perfoms the automated docking of chemical compounds to proteins, i.e. it
predicts how small molecules, such as substrates or drug candidates, bind to a receptor of known 3D structure.

The AutoDockSuite consists of two main programs of which AutoDock performs the
docking of the ligand to a set of grids describing the target protein and
AutoGrid pre-calculates these grids.

.SH EXAMPLE

On Debian, the directory /usr/share/doc/autodock offers examples to run. Change to that directory and unpack (as root) the gzipped map files, then execute AutoDock as shown below:
.br
gunzip *.map.gz
.br
autodock4 \-p 1pgp.dpf \-l /tmp/1pgp.dlg

The interpretation of results is aided by the AutoDockTools suite. Please also inspect the tutorials offered online.
