[Chimera-users] screening

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Snoze,
Chimera does not do the docking/scoring step.  There are features in  
Chimera for preparing the molecules (hydrogen and charge addition,  
etc.) and for visually screening the output from DOCK:

ViewDock:

framevd.html

Our focus in Chimera has been more on interactive/graphical features  
rather than computationally intensive, noninteractive methods.  Those  
methods often represent many years of detailed development by other  
labs, with programs freely available.  However, Chimera continues to  
evolve ...
Best,
Elaine
