Challenges, Applications, and Recent Advances of Protein-Ligand Docking in Structure-Based Drug Design

The docking methods used in structure-based virtual database screening offer the ability to quickly and cheaply estimate the affinity and binding mode of a ligand for the protein receptor of interest, such as a drug target. These methods can be used to enrich a database of compounds, so that more co...
