In particular, docking-based virtual screening (VS) is used to select the best ligands from database of thousands of compounds, while MD calculations assess the energy stability of the ligand\/protein binding complexes. Considering the broad use of these techniques, it is of great demand to have one single software that allows a combined and fast analysis of VS and MD results. With this in mind, we have developed the Drug Discovery Tool (DDT) that is an intuitive graphics user interface able to provide structural data and physico-chemical information on the ligand\/protein interaction.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>DDT is designed as a plugin for the Visual Molecular Dynamics (VMD) software and is able to manage a large number of ligand\/protein complexes obtained from AutoDock4 (AD4) docking calculations and MD simulations. DDT delivers four main outcomes: i) ligands ranking based on an energy score; ii) ligand ranking based on a ligands\u2019 conformation cluster analysis; iii) identification of the aminoacids forming the most occurrent interactions with the ligands; iv) plot of the ligands\u2019 center-of-mass coordinates in the Cartesian space. The flexibility of the software allows saving the best ligand\/protein complexes using a number of user-defined options.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Availability and implementation<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>DDT_site_1 (alternative DDT_site_2); the DDT tutorial movie is available here.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Supplementary information<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btz543","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,11]],"date-time":"2019-07-11T19:10:49Z","timestamp":1562872249000},"page":"5328-5330","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["DDT - Drug Discovery Tool: a fast and intuitive graphics user interface for docking and molecular dynamics analysis"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"35","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4938-8603","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Simone","family":"Aureli","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Computational Science - Center for Computational Medicine in Cardiology, Faculty of Biomedical Sciences , Universit\u00e0 della Svizzera italiana (USI), Lugano CH-6900, Switzerland"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6961-3129","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniele","family":"Di Marino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Computational Science - Center for Computational Medicine in Cardiology, Faculty of Biomedical Sciences , Universit\u00e0 della Svizzera italiana (USI), Lugano CH-6900, Switzerland"},{"name":"Department of Life and Environmental Sciences, Polytechnic University of Marche, Ancona , Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4835-8696","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Stefano","family":"Raniolo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Computational Science - Center for Computational Medicine in Cardiology, Faculty of Biomedical Sciences , Universit\u00e0 della Svizzera italiana (USI), Lugano CH-6900, Switzerland"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4861-1199","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vittorio","family":"Limongelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Computational Science - Center for Computational Medicine in Cardiology, Faculty of Biomedical Sciences , Universit\u00e0 della Svizzera italiana (USI), Lugano CH-6900, Switzerland"},{"name":"Department of Pharmacy, University of Naples \u201cFederico II\u201d , Naples I-80131, Italy"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023013108404997600_btz543-B1","first-page":"19","article-title":"GROMACS: high performance molecular simulations through multi-level parallelism from laptops to supercomputers","volume":"1","author":"Abraham","year":"2015","journal-title":"Software-X"},{"key":"2023013108404997600_btz543-B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"937","DOI":"10.1021\/jm401873d","article-title":"Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of potent dual agonists of nuclear and membrane bile acid receptors","volume":"57","author":"D\u2019Amore","year":"2014","journal-title":"J.
