Abstract
Molecular docking is a typical method of structure-based drug design. It aims to identify a ligand that binds to a specific receptor binding site and determine its most favorable binding pose. A new multi-objective optimization method is introduced to improve the docking accuracy. Two diverse scoring functions, energy-based and contact-based, are applied to demonstrate the multi-objective strategy. The energy-based scoring function is a force field one which consists of the Coulomb and Van der Waals terms. The contact-based one is a simple summation of the number of heavy atom contacts between ligand and receptor. The flexibility of receptor is considered by modeling the residue groups movements that occur during the interaction. A new multi-objective docking program that accounts for protein flexibility has been developed. An adaptive multi-generation evolutionary algorithm is adopted to solve the optimization problem. Results show that the method can give more robust and reasonable conformation of ligand in molecular docking.
