Abstract

Drug discovery aims to identify potential therapeutic compounds capable of modulating the activity of specific biological targets. Molecular docking can efficiently support this process by predicting binding interactions between small molecules and macromolecular targets and potentially accelerating screening campaigns. SwissDock is a computational tool released in 2011 as part of the SwissDrugDesign project, providing a free web-based service for small-molecule docking after automatized preparation of ligands and targets. Here, we present the latest version of SwissDock, in which EADock DSS has been replaced by two state-of-the-art docking programs, i.e. Attracting Cavities and AutoDock Vina. AutoDock Vina provides faster docking predictions, while Attracting Cavities offers more accurate results. Ligands can be imported in various ways, including as files, SMILES notation or molecular sketches. Targets can be imported as PDB files or identified by their PDB ID. In addition, advanced search options are available both for ligands and targets, giving users automatized access to widely-used databases. The web interface has been completely redesigned for interactive submission and analysis of docking results. Moreover, we developed a user-friendly command-line access which, in addition to all options of the web site, also enables covalent ligand docking with Attracting Cavities. The new version of SwissDock is freely available at https://www.swissdock.ch/.

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.
