Hi Megan, ChimeraX does not have an Autodock Vina feature. Maybe you are talking about Chimera? They are two different programs. However, even if you were trying to use the Autodock Vina interface in Chimera, you would have to install Autodock Vina yourself, and even if you do that, we still don't recommend using the Chimera interface for most research purposes, see the information in the gray box on this page: <https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/vina/vina.html> You can obtain and run Autodock Vina directly (not using Chimera or ChimeraX). Or if you only want something that doesn't require you to install any docking software yourself, maybe try web servers like SwissDock or Webina. <http://www.swissdock.ch/> <https://durrantlab.pitt.edu/webina/> I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Hi there,
My name is Megan Weidenbach and I am a user of the ChimeraX software. We have been trying to dock built organic molecules to coagulant factor proteins. So far, we have had no luck with the AutoDock Vina feature. This has been tested on the mac and microsoft versions of the software. I was wondering if your team might be able to point us in the direction of some resources that could help dock the proteins and identify their binding sites? Thank you!
