# Dock

> Dock (https://moleculardocking.online) is a browser-based AutoDock Vina service for students and early-career researchers. Enter a PDB ID or upload a receptor, submit SMILES or SDF ligands, and download affinity tables, 2D/3D interaction figures, and a coursework-ready PDF — no local Vina, Meeko, or Linux install.

Dock runs rigid-receptor AutoDock Vina with Meeko preparation and PLIP interaction analysis. Use a holo PDB when available, or an apo structure with a literature-defined or predicted pocket. Results need expert review; they are not experimental validation.
