Welcome to the ZDOCK Conv3D homepage. This is a project to integrate the 3D convolution library, Conv3D (provided by Dr. Yuichiro Hourai of the Computational Biology Research Center, AIST, Japan), into the ZDOCK protein-protein docking program (developed by our laboratory). By using this enhanced library, ZDOCK achieves significantly higher speed and efficiency. We have integrated this library into two versions of ZDOCK: ZDOCK 2.3 and ZDOCK 3.0. These optimized versions of ZDOCK are named ZDOCK 2.3.1 and ZDOCK 3.0.1, respectively.


Downloads
Downloads of the ZDOCK 2.3.1 and ZDOCK 3.0.1 programs are available for Linux, IBM Blue Gene, IBM p690, and Mac OS X platforms. They are freely available to all academic and non-profit users.
