HEX DOCKING

Question 1

Front:
What is Hex Docking and how does it work?

Answer 1

Back:

Hex Docking: A molecular docking tool used for protein-ligand, protein-protein, and DNA-protein docking.

Key Features:

Shape-based algorithm for rigid body docking.

Uses spherical polar Fourier (SPF) correlations to calculate docking orientations.

Compatible with GPU acceleration for faster calculations.

Supports protein-ligand, receptor-drug, and macromolecular docking.

Performs energy minimization to refine docked positions.

Applications: Helps in studying molecular interactions, drug design, and predicting binding orientations of molecules.
