Abstract

Molecular docking is a widely used technique for leveraging protein structure in ligand discovery, but as a method, it remains difficult to utilize due to limitations that have not been adequately addressed. Despite some progress towards automation, docking still requires expert guidance, hindering its adoption by a broader range of investigators. To make docking more accessible, we have developed a new utility called DockOpt, which automates the creation, evaluation, and optimization of docking models prior to their deployment in large-scale prospective screens. DockOpt outperforms our previous automated pipeline across all 43 targets in the DUDE-Z benchmark dataset, and the generated models for ~84% of targets demonstrate sufficient enrichment to warrant their use in prospective screens, with normalized LogAUC values of at least 15%. DockOpt is available as part of the Python package Pydock3 included in the UCSF DOCK 3.8 distribution, which is available for free to academic researchers at https://dock.compbio.ucsf.edu and free for everyone upon registration at https://tldr.docking.org.

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.
