Docking Series: Fundamentals to Automation

7 days · hybrid, self-paced

What docking tutorials leave out: choosing a docking-ready structure, finding the biologically relevant pocket, and reading a score in context.

  • Structure checks, AlphaFold, Modeller & SWISS-MODEL
  • Pocket prediction with Fpocket and DoGSiteScorer
  • Interaction analysis in Maestro and Discovery Studio
  • Batch docking and result ranking with Python
  • Re-docking validation (RMSD ≤ 2.0 Å) and publication-ready images

  • What DFT can and cannot answer
  • Hands-on with YASARA, ORCA and MOPAC
  • Protonation, multiplicity and HOMO–LUMO done properly
  • Two published protein–ligand systems, start to finish

Why train with us

More than clicking through a tutorial

A docking score means little without the choices behind it. Every session explains the why, then has you do it.

Live and interactive

Evening sessions on Google Meet so working researchers and students can attend.

Free tools only

AutoDock, Vina, PyRx, Pharmit, ChimeraX, ORCA and more. Nothing to buy.

Reusable Python workflows

Leave with automation scripts and templates you can run on your own projects.

Recordings and PDF guides

Session recordings and step-by-step guides to revisit after the workshop.

Certificate

A certificate of participation for every completed training.

Support after the session

Bring your errors and questions afterwards. Troubleshooting is part of the course.
