Protein-Small Molecule Docking Service
Protein-small molecule docking, a pivotal process in drug discovery, explores the interactions between proteins and small molecules to identify potential drug candidates. CD ComputaBio's advanced computational techniques and expert insights allow us to explore and predict the intricate interactions between proteins and small molecules, helping you identify promising drug candidates with higher precision and efficiency.
What is Protein-Small Molecule Docking?
Protein-small molecule docking is a computational method used to predict the preferred orientation of a small molecule when it binds to a protein target. Understanding these interactions is critical for the design of new drugs and therapeutic compounds. By simulating the docking process, we can evaluate binding affinities, predict interaction sites, and assist in lead optimization, significantly reducing the time and cost associated with experimental screening.

Our Services
With advanced technological platforms and a professional team, we are able to accurately simulate the binding modes of small molecules to proteins and precisely predict the binding affinities, thus providing crucial data support for fields such as drug research and development and biochemical research.
Workflow of Protein-Small Molecule Docking
Step 1. Preprocessing of Proteins and Small Molecules
For protein structures, we carry out a series of preprocessing steps. For systems without protein crystal structures, we offer the following services, including:
- Threading Modeling Service
For small molecules, structural optimization and adjustment of the protonation state also be conducted to make them conform to the actual chemical environment and physical properties, so that the interaction between them and proteins can be accurately simulated during the docking process.
Step 2. Protein-Small Molecule Docking Calculation
Using the configured parameters and selected software, the docking calculation process between proteins and small molecules will be initiated. The computer will simulate various possible orientations and conformations of small molecules around the active sites of proteins. By evaluating the interaction energy between them, the most stable binding modes will be sought.
Step 3. Result Analysis
After the docking calculation is completed, a large amount of potential binding conformation data will be generated. Our team will use professional analysis tools and methods to conduct in-depth analysis of these results. Our analysis services include:
