Toolbar buttons

Focus the view on the current docking box
Show/Hide the receptor line representation. This button cycles through 3 mode: 1) display entire receptor; 2) display receptor atoms inside the current docking box; 3) hide the receptor line representation.
Show/Hide the receptor surface representation. This button cycles through 3 modes: 1) display the surface for the entire receptor; 2) display the surface for atoms inside the docking box; 3) hide the surface representation.
Show/Hide residue labels. This button cycles through 3 modes: 1) label residues of the entire receptor; 2) label residues that have at least one side chain atom within the box; 3) hide the residue labels.
Show/Hide the ligand.
Show/Hide the ligand anchor atom. The anchor atom is the ligand atom that the AutoDockFR will be translate to binding pocket fill points to generate an initial pool of solutions to be optimized by its Genetic Algorithm.
Show/Hide atoms forming covalent bond.
Show/Hide the docking box.
Show/Hide map visualization widget for displaying ortho-slices and iso-contours.

Parameter panel buttons

Define docking box to enclose the receptor
Define docking box to enclose the ligand
Define docking box to enclose the binding pocket fill points
Define docking box to enclose user selected receptor amino acids
Manually define the docking box and set grid point spacing and smooth factor

Validity status lights (disabled, invalid, valid)

The box status light is red if the box does not overlap with the receptor, i.e. no receptor atom is found to be inside the box. This light is never disabled and the condition applied to any docking calculation.
The “Pocket” validity status light is enabled unless a receptor is prepared for covalent docking, in which case the light becomes disabled. The light will be red if none of the currently selected/displayed fill points is located within the box.
The validity status light for Flexible Residues “FR” is only enabled when receptor amino acid side chain have been selected to be flexible during docking. The light will be red if at least one atom in these side chain is outside the docking-box.
The covalent docking validity status light is only enabled if the covalent docking check button is checked. It will turn green after 2 atoms forming the covalent bond in the receptor have been selected.
