How to use InstaDock

 

  1. Place the ‘InstaDock EXE’ file in the same directory as your receptor and ligand files. (The files can be of any standard chemical format i.e. PDB, SDF, MOL, MOL2 or PDBQT).
  2. Click the ‘START’ Button to initiate the process of Molecular Docking.

Note: This program performs Blind docking by default. For site-specific OR ‘User-directed docking’, please refer to ‘Tutorials’ published in the original paper… Happy Docking!! 🙂
