Garg [10] gives two approximation algorithms for the minimum-cost tree spanning k vertices in an undirected graph. Recently Jain and Vazirani [15] discovered primal-dual approximation algorithms for the metric uncapacitated facility location and k-median problems. In this paper we show how Garg’s algorithms can be explained simply with ideas introduced by Jain and Vazirani, in particular via a ...

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...
