Overview

Docking-based protein-ligand interaction analysis plays a pivotal role in drug discovery, employing computational algorithms to predict the binding affinity between a protein and a potential drug molecule. This method facilitates the identification of novel drug candidates by simulating the docking process, elucidating the energetically favorable conformations of ligands within the protein's binding site. Recent research progress in this domain focuses on refining docking algorithms to enhance accuracy and efficiency, incorporating advanced scoring functions and considering receptor flexibility. Additionally, advancements in parallel computing and machine learning techniques contribute to the robustness of predictions. These developments propel the application of docking-based approaches in the virtual screening of vast chemical libraries, streamlining the drug discovery pipeline by prioritizing compounds with high binding affinity and therapeutic potential.
