X Abstract

PMID: 19685924 We have developed a new virtual screening (VS) method called LigMatch and evaluated its performance on 13 protein targets using a filtered and clustered version of the directory of useful decoys (DUD). The method uses 3D structural comparison to a crystallographically determined ligand in a bioactive ‘template’ conformation, using a geometric hashing method, in order to prioritize each database compound. We show that LigMatch outperforms several other widely used VS methods on the 13 DUD targets. We go on to demonstrate that improved VS performance can be gained from using multiple, structurally diverse templates rather than a single template ligand for a particular protein target. In this case, a 2D fingerprint-based method is used to select a ligand template from a set of known bioactive conformations. Furthermore, we show that LigMatch performs well even in the absence of 2D similarity to the template ligands, thereby demonstrating its robustness with respect to purely 2D methods and its potential for scaffold hopping.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
