Beware of Docking!
Abstract
Docking is now routine in virtual screening or lead optimization for drug screening and design. The number of papers related to docking has dramatically increased over the past decade. However, there are many issues to consider when undertaking a docking study. Frequent problems or issues arise, such as the wrong binding site of the target protein, screening using an unsuitable small-molecule database, the choice of docking pose, high dock score but failed in molecular dynamics (MD) simulation, and lack of clarity over whether the compound is an inhibitor or agonist. These problems should be cause for caution and concern before performing docking. Some papers show comprehensive biochemistry experiments but only a simple docking figure. This review presents some evidence to show that the docking might be questionable, despite a high score. In some cases, the accuracy of docking can even change from 0% to 92.66%. Thus, please beware of docking!

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.
