About Aurora Drug Discovery
Aurora employs quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and an advanced continuous water model for solvation effects to calculate ligand´s binding affinities. This approach differs dramatically from scoring functions that are commonly used for binding affinity predictions. By including the entropy and aqueous electrostatic contributions in to the calculations directly, Aurora algorithms produce much more accurate and robust values of binding free energies. Interaction of a ligand with a protein is characterized by the value of binding free energy. The free energy (F) is the thermodynamic quantity that is directly related to experimentally measurable value of inhibition constant (IC50) and depends on electrostatic, quantum, aqueous solvation forces, as well as on statistical properties of interacting molecules. There are two major contributing quantities leading to non-additivity in F: 1) the electrostatic and solvation energy and 2) the entropy.

AutoDock
AutoDock is a suite of automated docking tools. It is designed to predict how small molecules, such as substrates or drug candidates, bind to a receptor of known 3D structure. Over the years, it has been modified and improved to add new functionalities, and multiple engines have been developed. Current distributions of AutoDock consist of two generations of software: AutoDock 4 and AutoDock Vina. More recently, we developed AutoDock-GPU, an accelerated version of AutoDock4 that is hundreds of times faster than the original single-CPU docking code. AutoDock 4 actually consists of two main programs: autodock performs the docking of the ligand to a set of grids describing the target protein; autogrid pre-calculates these grids. In addition to using them for docking, the atomic affinity grids can be visualized. This can help, for example, to guide organic synthetic chemists design better binders.
