Abstract

SUMMARY: Deep learning (DL) can significantly accelerate virtual screening of ultra-large chemical libraries, enabling the evaluation of billions of compounds at a fraction of the computational cost and time required by conventional docking. Here, we introduce DD-GUI, the graphical user interface for such DL approach we have previously developed, termed Deep Docking (DD). The DD-GUI allows for quick setups of large-scale virtual screens in an intuitive way, and provides convenient tools to track the progress and analyze the outcomes of a drug discovery project.
