[Chimera-users] Announcement: Release of DOCK 6.6

[Scott Brozell]

We are pleased to announce the release of DOCK 6.6.

DOCK is a suite of programs for molecular docking.
In version 6.6 two new scoring functions are available:
Grid-based footprint scoring and SASA-based scoring.

The MultiGrid Footprint Score calculates the pair-wise interaction energies
over multiple grids.  Important receptor residues are initially identified
with a reference ligand, and individual grids are generated to
model such residues. 

The SASA score calculates the percent exposure of a ligand, and the
percentage of the hydrophobic portion of a ligand and the receptor that
are buried in the pocket.

In addition, a symmetry corrected RMSD (Hungarian matching) method was added
to facilitate pose reproduction studies.
