X Abstract

Abstract: We present Fleksy, a new approach to consider both ligand and receptor flexibility in small molecule docking. Pivotal to our method is the use of a receptor ensemble to describe protein flexibility. To construct these ensembles, we use a backbone-dependent rotamer library and implement the concept of interaction sampling. The latter allows the evaluation of different orientations of ambivalent interaction partners. The docking stage consists of an ensemble-based soft-docking experiment using FlexX-Ensemble, followed by an effective flexible receptorligand complex optimization using Yasara. Fleksy produces a set of receptorligand complexes ranked using a consensus scoring function combining docking scores and force field energies. Averaged over three cross-docking datasets, containing 35 different receptorligand complexes in total, Fleksy reproduces the observed binding mode within 2.0 Å for 78% of the complexes. This compares favorably to the rigid receptor FlexX program, which on average reaches a success rate of 44% for these datasets.

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.
