ADT is essential for setting up docking experiments, primarily by converting standard protein and ligand files (like .pdb) into the specialized format required by docking engines. ADT is essential for setting up docking experiments,

: Unlike some automated "black box" tools, ADT gives users explicit control over parameters like charge assignment and grid dimensions.

: Users can visually set up the "Grid Box," defining the specific 3D search space where the docking algorithm will look for binding sites. Strengths
