The binding positions of six small-molecule ligands in their complexes with target proteins were predicted using our Research docking program for the CASP2 challenge. Research uses a Monte Carlo procedure with pairwise energies and allows for the conformational searching of ligand torsional space. W

โฆ Synopsis
The docking section of CASP2 is reviewed. Seven small molecule ligandprotein targets and one protein-protein target were available for predictions. Many of the small molecule ligand complexes involved serine proteases. Overall results for the small molecule targets were good, with at least one prediction for each target being within 3 ร root-mean-square deviation (RMSD) for nearly all targets and within 2 ร RMSD for over half the targets. However, no single docking method seemed to consistently perform best. In addition, the predictions closest to the experimental results were not always those ranked the highest, pointing out that the evaluation (scoring) of potential solutions is still an area that needs improvement. The protein-protein target proved more difficult. None of the predictions did well in reproducing the geometry of the complex, although in many cases the interacting surfaces of the two proteins were predicted with reasonable accuracy. This target consisted of two large proteins and, therefore was a demanding target for docking methods.

Seven docking predictions were made with the LIGIN program. In six cases the location of the binding pocket was identified correctly by systematically docking everywhere within the protein structure. In two cases the ligand was docked to within 1.8 ร RMSD of the experimentally determined structure.

New and newly extended methods for fold assignment were tested for their abilities to assign folds to amino acid target sequences of unknown three-dimensional structure.

The DOCK program explores possible orientations of a molecule within a macromolecular active site by superimposing atoms onto precomputed site points. Here we compare a number of different search methods, including an exhaustive matching algorithm based on a single docking graph. We evaluate the per
