From the computer science point of view, this project aims to extend volunteer computing to enable adaptive multi-scale modelling of the docking applications: different models that represent the same phenomena in nature with different level of accuracy and resource requirements will be chosen at run-time based on results collected so far and characteristics of the protein-ligand complex.

Docking@Home involves collaboration among the University of Delaware, The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI), and the University of California - Berkeley and is powered by BOINC. Docking@Home is part of the DAPLDS project or Dynamically Adaptive Protein-Ligand Docking System project, and is supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF).
