ParaDockS - an open-source framework for molecular docking: implementation of target-class-specific scoring methods
Accurate scoring of protein-ligand interactions in molecular docking and virtual screening is still challenging. Despite great efforts, the performance of existing scoring functions strongly depends on the target structure under investigation. Recent developments in the direction of target-class-specific scoring methods and machine-learningbased classification models reveals a significant impro...
متن کاملProtein-specific Scoring Method for Ligand Discovery
Protein-based virtual screening plays an important role in modern drug discovery process. Most protein-based virtual screening experiments are carried out with docking programs. The accuracy of a docking program highly relies on the incorporated scoring function based on various energy terms. The existing scoring functions deal all the energy terms with the equal weight function or other weight...
متن کاملNovel Small Molecules against Two Binding Sites of Wnt2 Protein as potential Drug Candidates for Colorectal Cancer: A Structure Based Virtual Screening Approach
Wnts are the major ligands responsible for activating Wnt signaling pathway through binding to Frizzled proteins (Fzd) as the receptors. Among these ligands, Wnt2 plays the main role in the tumorigenesis of several human cancers especially colorectal cancer (CRC). Therefore, it can be considered as a potential drug target.The aim of this study was to identify potential drug candidates ...
متن کاملCombining docking with pharmacophore filtering for improved virtual screening
BACKGROUND Virtual screening is used to distinguish potential leads from inactive compounds in a database of chemical samples. One method for accomplishing this is by docking compounds into the structure of a receptor binding site in order to rank-order compounds by the quality of the interactions they form with the receptor. It is generally established that docking can be reasonably successful...
متن کاملA Machine Learning Approach to Enhance Scoring Performance in Docking-Based Virtual Screening Experiments: COX-1 as a Case Study
Molecular docking can be reasonably successful at reproducing X-ray poses of a ligand in the binding site of a protein. However, scoring functions are typically unsuccessful at correctly ranking ligands according to their binding affinity. Using cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1), a particularly challenging workhorse in virtual screening (VS) we show how the use of support vector machines (SVMs), trained...
