Volunteer computing allows an extensive search of protein-ligand docking conformations and selection of near-native ligand conformations are achieved by using ligand based hierarchical clustering.`:cite-ref-2[`F5bf`_`[2`#cite-note-2]`_`f] The ultimate aim was the development of new `F33f`_`[pharmaceutical drugs`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Pharmaceutical_drug]`_`f.

The project was retired on May 23, 2014.`:cite-ref-retiring-1-1[`F5bf`_`[1`#cite-note-retiring-1]`_`f]
