[83] Changed web service URI from http://ws.nbcr.net to http://kryptonite.nbcr.net. Opal client distributed with PyRx is compatible with Opal2 services running on this new server.

[80] We now show ScrolledMessageDialog with TraceBack when PyRx fails to start.

[76] Exporting SDF in Analyze Results allows to specify the Number of Poses to Retain. This option is available through Edit -> Preferences. In the case of Vina results, we sort the result using Vina Binding Affinity before saving the result. For AutoDock 4, sorting is done using Binding Energy.

[74] Made a number of important changes and bug fixes related to flexible residue generation and docking. In particular the names of flexible and rigid parts of a macromolecule now ends with ‘_flex.pdbqt’ and ‘_rigid.pdbqt’, respectively. http://pyrx.scripps.edu/images/flex_rigid_74.png

[71] Users can now save docked structures and binding energies as SDF (Structure Data Format). Thanks to Martin Indarte post in the forum: SDF with binding energies/scores
