HEX Hex is an interactive protein docking and molecular superposition program, written by Dave Ritchie . Hex understands protein and DNA structures in PDB format, and it can also read small-molecule SDF files. As of December 2015, there have been over 40,000 downloads. Hex is an interactive molecular graphics program for calculating and displaying feasible docking modes of pairs of protein and DNA molecules.
Hex can also calculate protein and ligand docking It is the first protein docking program to be able to use modern graphics processor units(GPU) to Accelerate the calculation
Scoring functions Force field – affinities are estimated by summing the strength of intermolecular van der Waals and electrostatic interactions between all atoms of the two molecules in the complex using a force field Empirical – based on counting the number of various types of interactions between the two binding partners.Counting may be based on the number of ligand and receptor atoms in contact with each other or by calculating the change in solvent accessible surface area .
Knowledge-based – based on statistical observations of intermolecular close contacts in large 3D databases (such as the Cambridge Structural Database or Protein Data Bank ) which are used to derive statistical " potentials of mean force ". Machine-learning – Unlike these classical scoring functions, machine-learning scoring functions are characterized by not assuming a predetermined functional form for the relationship between binding affinity and the structural features describing the protein-ligand complex
