AutoDock4 is a computational docking program based on an empirical free energy force field and rapid Lamarckian genetic algorithm search method. Docking is performed in two steps: first, a grid-based lookup table of interaction energies is calculated for the receptor using AutoGrid, then ligands are docked with AutoDock using this information.AutoDock4 is a core element of the of free open source software for the computational docking and virtual screening of small molecules to macromolecular receptors.AutoDock is being developed and maintained in the, with support from the US National Institutes of Health. Usage PolicyAutoDock 4 and AutoGrid 4 are free software, distributed under the. The C and C source code of all the programs is provided, along with ready-to-run executables for several popular computers.If you plan to use AutoDock 4 for commercial purposes we encourage donations to the Forli laboratory to help support further development of the AutoDock suite of programs.Donations may be made to:The Scripps Research Institutec/o Stefano Forliand mailed to:Stefano ForliDepartment of Molecular Biology, MB-5The Scripps Research InstituteLa Jolla, CA 92037USASelect the platform and/or source code.
What is Mac OS X for PPC (OSX 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5)?Mac OS X is an operating system by Apple Inc. It is a conglomoration of NeXTSTEP, A/UX, and Mac OS 9. It is based off the unix kernel and provides compatibility with X11. It features a new theme called Aqua which replaces Platinum from Mac OS 8 and 9. It also adds the Dock as a place to launch applications (Not dissimilar to the underused Launcher) as well as some other features.It started out on PowerPC processors but later transitioned onto Intel processors with Mac OS X Leopard (10.5) the last to natively support the PowerPC architecture and Snow Leopard (10.6) the last to support PowerPC applications on Intel-based Macs.
All versions of Mac OS X that were made to run on PowerPC systems (with the exception of Leopard) had a Mac OS 9 emulation layer called 'Classic'. It allowed Mac OS X to run Mac OS 9 applications that weren't updated to run natively on OS X (known as carbonization based on the Carbon API). However, some applications and extensions won't work under Classic. Game motogp. One example is Final Cut Pro 2. Yet, 99% of the time, Classic was perfectly capable of running most OS 9 apps.See also: (for Intel architecture only)Important: To install Mac OS X 10.4 on G3's, use theDownload Mac OS X for PPC (OSX 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5) for Mac.
