Year 2000
DOCK User Group Meeting

San Francisco, CA
October 15-16, 2000

Approximately 90 members of the worldwide DOCK user community attended the Year 2000 DOCK User Group Meeting in San Francisco on October 15-16, 2000, chaired by Professor Irwin Kuntz.  DOCK, developed by Professor Kuntz's group, uses database and graph theoretic techniques to suggest molecules with good steric and chemical complementarity to protein and nucleic acid receptors of known structure. The meeting addressed  issues of free energy, scoring, and combinatorial design.  Applications of the technique include virtual library design and construction and screening. The DOCK User Group Meeting and the AMBER Developers Meeting ran concurrently this year providing opportunities for the two groups to interact at breaks, meals and poster sessions.
