Vina

Vina is a computer program used to predict how small molecules, like drugs, bind to larger biological targets such as proteins. It helps researchers identify potential medications by simulating different ways a molecule can fit into a protein's active site. By efficiently exploring many possible arrangements, Vina estimates the strength and stability of the interaction, guiding experiments and drug development. It’s widely used in computational chemistry and bioinformatics because of its speed and accuracy in virtual screening of compounds.
