Docking into Cryptic Pockets with Lacuna and AutoDock Vina

Cryptic pockets are closed in the apo structure, so docking misses them. Find and rank them with Lacuna, then dock a ligand library with AutoDock Vina.

How to Automate Parametric Studies on HPC and Cloud

A parametric study is a fan-out, a gather, and sometimes a loop. How to orchestrate sweeps and optimization runs across CPU, GPU, HPC and cloud without glue code.
