is it an actual algorithm used for docking or is it just animated in such a way that it looks like docking?

It docks itself by adaptively minimizing the distances between the docking sites - coded green.

It is a protein docking into the "pocket" of a malaria molecule.
The malaria molecule is an enzyme called enoyl reductase, which the malaria parasite needs to build its cell wall. The enzyme is too big to show in second life so only the docking site is shown.

mmmmmmm looks complex, what's the molecule?
