Popis: Eight docking programs (DOCK, FLEXX, FRED, GLIDE, GOLD, SLIDE, SURFLEX, and QXP) that can be used for either single-ligand docking or database screening have been compared for their propensity to recover the X-ray pose of 100 small-molecular-weight ligands, and for their capac- ity to discriminate known inhibitors of an enzyme (thymidine kinase) from randomly chosen "drug- like" molecules. Interestingly, both properties are found to be correlated, since the tools showing the best docking accuracy (GLIDE, GOLD, and SUR- FLEX) are also the most successful in ranking known inhibitors in a virtual screening experiment. More- over, the current study pinpoints some physicochem- ical descriptors of either the ligand or its cognate protein-binding site that generally lead to docking/ scoring inaccuracies.
