Latest developments in molecular docking: 2010-2011 in review.

TLDR
The main developments in docking in this period, covered in this review, are receptor flexibility, solvation, fragment docking, postprocessing, docking into homology models, and docking comparisons.
Abstract
The aim of docking is to accurately predict the structure of a ligand within the constraints of a receptor binding site and to correctly estimate the strength of binding. We discuss, in detail, methodological developments that occurred in the docking field in 2010 and 2011, with a particular focus on the more difficult, and sometimes controversial, aspects of this promising computational discipline. The main developments in docking in this period, covered in this review, are receptor flexibility, solvation, fragment docking, postprocessing, docking into homology models, and docking comparisons. Several new, or at least newly invigorated, advances occurred in areas such as nonlinear scoring functions, using machine-learning approaches. This review is strongly focused on docking advances in the context of drug design, specifically in virtual screening and fragment-based drug design. Where appropriate, we refer readers to exemplar case studies.

Comprehensive evaluation of ten docking programs on a diverse set of protein-ligand complexes: the prediction accuracy of sampling power and scoring power.

TL;DR: Overall, the ligand binding poses could be identified in most cases by the evaluated docking programs but the ranks of the binding affinities for the entire dataset could not be well predicted by most docking programs.

Rapid flexible docking using a stochastic rotamer library of ligands

TL;DR: A flexible docking approach, MedusaDock, is proposed, which models both ligand and receptor flexibility simultaneously with sets of discrete rotamers, and an algorithm to build the ligand rotamer library "on-the-fly" during docking simulations is developed.

A unified, probabilistic framework for structure- and ligand-based virtual screening.

TL;DR: A unified probabilistic framework for interpreting structure-based virtual screening that returns a quantitative likelihood of observing bioactivity and can be quantitatively combined with ligand-based screening methods to yield a cumulative prediction that consistently outperforms any single screening metric.

Consistency properties of species tree inference by minimizing deep coalescences.

TL;DR: This article investigates the consistency of the minimizing-deep-coalescence (MDC) criterion and shows that there are indeed anomaly zones for the MDC criterion for asymmetric four-taxon species tree topologies, and for all species treeTopologies with five or more taxa.
