A new molecular docking method based on residue groups and PMF scoring function

چکیده
In this study, a new molecular docking method is presented to improve the docking accuracy. We introduce to docking design a concept of residue groups based on induced-fit and use K Score (a kind of PMF scoring function) to score the docking position. Genetic algorithm with the multi-population evolution and entropy-based searching technique with narrowing down space is used to solve the optimization model for molecular docking. To evaluate the method, we carried out a numerical experiment with 134 protein–ligand complexes of the publicly available GOLD test set. Through the comparison with other popular docking software, the proposed method showed the higher accuracy. The average computing time of this study is 44.1s, that made it has advantages in the virtual screening. Among more than 61% of the complexes, the docked results were within 2.0 Å according to Root-MeanSquare Deviation (RMSD) of the X-ray structure.

Scoring Function Based on Weighted Residue Network
Molecular docking is an important method for the research of protein-protein interaction and recognition. A protein can be considered as a network when the residues are treated as its nodes. With the contact energy between residues as link weight, a weighted residue network is constructed in this paper. Two weighted parameters (strength and weighted average nearest neighbors' degree) are introd...
متن کاملStructural Prediction of Protein-RNA Interaction by Computational Docking with Propensity-Based Statistical Potentials
Despite the importance of protein-RNA interactions in the cellular context, the number of available protein-RNA complex structures is still much lower than those of other biomolecules. As a consequence, few computational studies have been addressed towards protein-RNA complexes, and to our knowledge, no systematic benchmarking of protein-RNA docking has been reported. In this study we have extr...

Background: The need for fast and accurate scoring functions has been driven by the increased use of in silico virtual screening twinned with high-throughput screening as a method to rapidly identify potential candidates in the early stages of drug development. We examine the ability of some the most common scoring functions (GOLD, ChemScore, DOCK, PMF, BLEEP and Consensus) to discriminate corr...
متن کاملPARADOCKS – a framework for molecular docking
The prediction of possible binding geometries as well as ranking of putative protein-ligand complexes according their binding affinities is the intention of so called molecular docking approaches. To evaluate complexes against each other, scoring functions are required. In recent years knowledge-based scoring functions have been evolved. They exploit the vast amount of experimentally determined...
متن کاملRetrospective Docking Study of PDE4B Ligands and an Analysis of the Behavior of Selected Scoring Functions
Scoring forms a major obstacle to the success of any docking study. In general, fast scoring functions perform poorly when used to determine the relative affinity of ligands for their receptors. In this study, the objective was not to rank compounds with confidence but simply to identify a scoring method which could provide a 4-fold hit enrichment in a screening sample over random selection. To...
