3.1.6.50 Totrov, M., and Abagyan, R. (1997). Flexible protein-ligand docking by global energy optimization in internal coordinates. Proteins, Supplement 1, 215-220
Eight protein-ligand complexes were simulated by using global optimization of a complex energy function, including
solvation, surface tension, and side-chain entropy in the internal coordinate space of the flexible ligand and the receptor side
chains [Abagyan, R.A., Totrov, M.M. J. Mol. Biol. 235: 983-1002, 1994]. The procedure uses two types of efficient random
moves, a pseudobrownian positional move [Abagyan, R.A., Totrov, M.M., Kuznetsov, D.A. J. Comp. Chem. 15:488-506,
1994] and a Biased-Probability multitorsion move [Abagyan, R.A., Totrov, M.M. J. Mol. Biol. 235: 983-1002, 1994], each
accompanied by full local energy minimization. The best docking solutions were further ranked according to the interaction
energy, which included intramolecular deformation energies of both receptor and ligand, the interaction energy, surface
tension, side-chain entropic contribution, and an electrostatic term evaluated as a boundary element solution of the Poisson
equation with the molecular surface as a dielectric boundary. The geometrical accuracy of the docking solutions ranged
from 30% to 70% according to the relative displacement error measure at a 1.5 A scale. Similar results were obtained when
the explicit receptor atoms were replaced with a grid potential.
