GOLD is the result of a collaborative LINK project between Sheffield University, Glaxo Wellcome and the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC). Funding was provided by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council, the Department of Trade and Industry, the Medical Research Council, Glaxo Wellcome Ltd and CCDC. The program was written by Dr Gareth Jones, in the group of Professor Peter Willett at the Department of Information Studies, University of Sheffield. Gareth was also primarily responsible for the additional research work on the correlation of GOLD fitness scores with activity and on the use of GOLD for docking combinatorial libraries. Other contributions, particularly in validating and testing the program, were made at Wellcome (Bobby Glen), Glaxo Wellcome (Andrew Leach) and CCDC (Robin Taylor).
