Popis: Abstract For ligand binding prediction, it is crucial for molecular docking programs to integrate template-based modeling with a precise scoring function. Here, we proposed the CoDock-Ligand docking method that combines template-based modeling and the GNINA scoring function, a Convolutional Neural Network-based scoring function, for the ligand binding prediction in CASP15. Among the 21 targets, we obtained successful predictions in top 5 submissions for 14 targets and partially successful predictions for 4 targets. In particular, for the most complicated target, H1114, which contains 56 metal cofactors and small molecules, our docking method successfully predicted the binding of most ligands. Analysis of the failed systems showed that the predicted receptor protein presented conformational changes in the backbone and side chains of the binding site residues, which may cause large structural deviations in the ligand binding prediction. In summary, our hybrid docking scheme was efficiently adapted to the ligand binding prediction challenges in CASP15.
