Molecular Docking Challenges and Limitations
Abstract
Today, the development of new drugs is a challenging task of science. Researchers already applied molecular docking in the drug design field to simulate ligand- receptor interactions. Docking is a term used for computational schemes that attempt to find the “best” matching between two molecules in a complex formed from constituent molecules. It has a wide range of uses and applications in drug discovery. However, some defects still exist; the accuracy and speed of docking calculation is a challenge to explore and these methods can be enhanced as a solution to docking problem. The molecular docking problem can be defined as follows: Given the atomic coordinates of two molecules, predict their “correct” bound association. The chapter discusses common challenges critical aspects of docking method such as ligand- and receptor- conformation, flexibility and cavity detection, etc. It emphasis to the challenges and inadequacies with the theories behind as well as the examples.
