The docking program PLANTS, which is based on ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithm, has many advanced features for molecular docking. Among them are multiple scoring functions, the possibility to model explicit displaceable water molecules, and th...
As more bioactivity and protein structure data become available, scoring functions (SFs) using machine learning (ML) to leverage these data sets continue to gain further accuracy and broader applicability. Advances in our understanding of the optimal...
A global pandemic has emerged following the appearance of the new severe acute respiratory virus whose official name is the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), strongly affecting the health sector as well as the world econom...
The molecular docking simulation is a key computational tool in modern drug discovery research that its predictive performance strongly depends on the employed scoring functions. Many recent studies have shown that the application of machine learning...
