Flexible protein-ligand docking using the Fleksy protocol

J Comput Chem. 2012 May 5;33(12):1215-7. doi: 10.1002/jcc.22948. Epub 2012 Feb 28.

Abstract

Considering protein plasticity is important in accurately predicting the three-dimensional geometry of protein-ligand complexes. Here, we present the first public release of our flexible docking tool Fleksy, which is able to consider both ligand and protein flexibility in the docking process. We describe the workflow and different features of the software and present its performance on two cross-docking benchmark datasets.

Keywords: docking; induced fit; ligand; modeling; protein.
