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.

Discovery of Novel Checkpoint Kinase 1 Inhibitors by Virtual Screening Based on Multiple Crystal Structures

TL;DR: A successful application of the docking of multiple structures to discover novel and potent Chk1 inhibitors and achieving a better enrichment and identifying more diverse compounds was more likely using multiple structures than using only a single structure even when protein structures were randomly selected.

Using Free Energy of Binding Calculations to Improve the Accuracy of Virtual Screening Predictions

TL;DR: Free energy rescoring was more accurate than AutoDock4 scores in discriminating between known binders and nonbinders, suggesting free energy rescuing could be a useful approach to reduce false positive predictions in virtual screening experiments.

Q‐DockLHM: Low‐resolution refinement for ligand comparative modeling

TL;DR: Docking benchmarks reveal that unlike all‐atom docking, Q‐DockLHM exhibits the desired tolerance to the receptor's structure deformation, suggesting that the use of an evolution‐based approach to ligand homology modeling followed by fast low‐resolution refinement is capable of achieving satisfactory performance in ligand‐binding pose prediction with promising applicability to proteome‐scale applications.
