What Is Molecular Docking?
Molecular docking is a pivotal computational technique that predicts the preferred orientation of a ligand to a receptor when bound to each other to form a stable complex. It serves as the cornerstone of structure-based drug design (SBDD).
- Receptor-Ligand Interaction: Accurately predicting the binding mode and active site interactions.
- Binding Affinity Assessment: Estimating the strength of the association to rank potential drug candidates.
