Improving scoring-docking-screening powers of protein-ligand scoring functions using random forest
Open accessAbstract
The development of new protein–ligand scoring functions using machine learning algorithms, such as random forest, has been of significant interest. By efficiently utilizing expanded feature sets and a large set of experimental data, random forest based scoring functions (RFbScore) can achieve better correlations to experimental protein–ligand binding data with known crystal structures; however, more extensive tests indicate that such enhancement in scoring power comes with significant under-performance in docking and screening power tests compared to traditional scoring functions. In this work, to improve scoring-docking-screening powers of protein–ligand docking functions simultaneously, we have introduced a ΔvinaRF parameterization and feature selection framework based on random forest. Our developed scoring function ΔvinaRF20, which employs 20 descriptors in addition to the AutoDock Vina score, can achieve superior performance in all power tests of both CASF-2013 and CASF-2007 benchmarks compared to classical scoring functions. The ΔvinaRF20 scoring function and its code are freely available on the web at: https://www.nyu.edu/projects/yzhang/DeltaVina. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
