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.

Promethium is a GPU-powered chemistry simulation platform designed to accelerate drug and materials development by enabling faster and more accurate quantum chemistry calculations. Built from the ground up for NVIDIA datacenter GPUs like A100, it employs novel QC Ware streaming algorithms to achieve unprecedented computational speed and high throughput-to-power consumption ratios. It supports density functional theory calculations on systems with up to 2,000 atoms, allowing simulations of large molecular systems that are not feasible with legacy CPU-powered ab initio codes. For instance, a single-point calculation of a 2,056-atom protein can be completed in 14 hours on a single GPU. Promethium offers a range of capabilities, including single-point energy calculations, geometry optimization, conformer search, torsion scan, reaction path optimization, transition state optimization, interaction energy computations, and relaxed potential energy surface scans.
