CrossDocker: a tool for performing cross-docking using Autodock Vina
نویسنده
چکیده
BACKGROUND Cross-docking is an approach to find the best holo structures among multiple structures available for a target protein. RESULTS CrossDocker significantly decreases the time needed for setting parameters and inputs for performing multiple dockings, data collection and subsequent analysis. CONCLUSION CrossDocker was written in Python language and is available as executable binary for Windows operating system. It is available at http://www.pharm-sbg.com. Some example data sets were also provided.

AutoDock Vina: Improving the speed and accuracy of docking with a new scoring function, efficient optimization, and multithreading
AutoDock Vina, a new program for molecular docking and virtual screening, is presented. AutoDock Vina achieves an approximately two orders of magnitude speed-up compared with the molecular docking software previously developed in our lab (AutoDock 4), while also significantly improving the accuracy of the binding mode predictions, judging by our tests on the training set used in AutoDock 4 deve...
متن کاملThe Performance of Several Docking Programs at Reproducing Protein-Macrolide-Like Crystal Structures.
The accuracy of five docking programs at reproducing crystallographic structures of complexes of 8 macrolides and 12 related macrocyclic structures, all with their corresponding receptors, was evaluated. Self-docking calculations indicated excellent performance in all cases (mean RMSD values ≤ 1.0) and confirmed the speed of AutoDock Vina. Afterwards, the lowest-energy conformer of each molecul...
متن کاملAutoDock VinaXB: implementation of XBSF, new empirical halogen bond scoring function, into AutoDock Vina
BACKGROUND Halogen bonding has recently come to play as a target for lead optimization in rational drug design. However, most docking program don't account for halogen bonding in their scoring functions and are not able to utilize this new approach. In this study a new and improved halogen bonding scoring function (XBSF) is presented along with its implementation in the AutoDock Vina molecular ...
متن کاملSelective flexibility of side-chain residues improves VEGFR-2 docking score using AutoDock Vina.
Selective side-chain residue flexibility is an option available on AutoDock Vina docking software. This approach is promising as it attempts to provide a more realistic ligand-protein interaction environment without an unmanageable increase in computer processing time. However, studies validating this approach are still scarce. VEGFR-2 (vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2), a known pr...
متن کاملAutoDockFR: Advances in Protein-Ligand Docking with Explicitly Specified Binding Site Flexibility
Automated docking of drug-like molecules into receptors is an essential tool in structure-based drug design. While modeling receptor flexibility is important for correctly predicting ligand binding, it still remains challenging. This work focuses on an approach in which receptor flexibility is modeled by explicitly specifying a set of receptor side-chains a-priori. The challenges of this approa...
