CCL: announcing eHiTS: free docking software for teaching and academic research

[Aniko Simon <aniko * simbiosys.ca>]

SimBioSys offers eHiTS 5.1 free for teaching and academic research!
 eHiTS is the truly exhaustive docking program that explores the full
 conformational and pose space. The newly released version 5.1 ships with a
 fully automated training facility that can tune the scoring function to
 particular receptors or protein families, improving both accuracy and
 enrichment results.
 eHiTS consistently outperforms other docking tools in validation comparisons,
 using publically available datasets, resulting in more accurate docking
 poses.  In addition, the automated handling of protontation states produces
 more accurate screening results for large databases, where up-front
 estimating of the protonation states for all ligand/receptor combinations is
 impossible.  eHiTS evaluates all possible protonation states in a single run.
 To further improve the great results of eHiTS, the new training facility
 allows the user to tailor the scoring functions to recognize particular
 families of interest and better score ligands that make key interactions.
 The training utility is very simple to use and can improve both accuracy and
 enrichment results.
 SimBioSys recognizes the importance of docking research in the academic world,
 and the financial constraints of many academic institutions.  With this in
 mind, we are offering eHiTS 5.1 free for most academic institutions.
