One continuous workflow

Move from molecular inputs to reviewable poses without stitching separate interfaces together.

The preparation, configuration, execution, and review stages remain visible in the same project workspace.

  1. 01

    Load the receptor

    Open a local PDB or mmCIF structure, or retrieve a structure by RCSB PDB identifier.

  2. 02

    Prepare the study

    Review receptor clean-up decisions, add one or many ligands, and create docking-ready structures.

  3. 03

    Define the search

    Position the interaction box and set Vina parameters such as exhaustiveness, pose count, energy range, and seed.

  4. 04

    Review and export

    Compare affinities and RMSD values, inspect poses in 3D, and export results or protein–ligand complexes.

Complete UI sweep

From a larger receptor to saved history, see the full interface.

These are authentic captures from the current MolNexus desktop build: a large-structure preparation review and one end-to-end 1A6M screening scenario with 50 ligands.

01

Screening workspace

Scale the study without losing molecular context.

The receptor, a scrollable ligand library, 3D interaction box, sequence, and Vina controls remain visible in one operational view. This capture shows 1A6M and 50 prepared ligands.

Complete MolNexus screening workspace with the 1A6M receptor rendered as a ribbon, 50 prepared ligands in the navigator, the interaction box, protein sequence, and Vina settings
The navigator confirms the full library while the central viewer preserves the receptor, cofactor context, and editable search box.
02

Preparation and validation

Make preparation decisions visible before the run.

MolNexus exposes receptor statistics and clean-up choices, then reports the terminal state of the ligand batch instead of treating preparation as an opaque background step.

03

Batch execution

Follow the active ligand and retain control of the run.

During Vina execution, MolNexus locks incompatible controls, identifies the ligand in progress, exposes elapsed state, and keeps a deliberate stop action available.

  • Live per-ligand batch position
  • Run settings summarized in context
  • Safe cancellation remains visible

04

Pose review

Move from the result table to molecular evidence in one view.

Select a row to display its docked pose alongside the receptor and its 2D ligand structure while retaining affinities, RMSD values, sequence, box geometry, and the run configuration.

Completed MolNexus docking workspace with pose 002 displayed on the 1A6M receptor, its 2D ligand structure, three completed ligands, seven result poses, affinity and RMSD columns
Three of three selected ligands completed. The seven box-verified poses remain sortable and inspectable; the best affinity shown in this interface run was −6.73 kcal/mol.
05

Persistent job history

Reopen, compare, and export completed work.

The completed batch is saved to the local SQLite history with summary metrics, search, multi-row selection, job reopening, PDF and Excel exports, and downloadable docked complexes.

MolNexus docking job history showing the saved 1A6M job, completion status, three ligands, seven poses, best affinity, creation time, and export controls
This is the job created by the same walkthrough—not a populated mockup. It can be reopened or exported without rerunning docking.

About the displayed values: this run was configured to validate and present the application workflow. Its docking scores and timings are interface evidence, not a performance benchmark or a biological conclusion.

Built around the scientific task

The controls and context needed to run a docking study.

Integrated molecular view

Inspect the receptor, interaction box, sequence, ligands, and docked poses in an embedded Mol* workspace.

Explicit preparation

Prepare supported receptor and ligand inputs through a defined Meeko and AutoDock Vina boundary.

Configurable docking

Set the interaction box and core Vina parameters while keeping the configuration beside the structure.

Reviewable outputs

Compare modes, affinity, and RMSD; inspect a selected pose; then export results and validated complexes.
