Abstract

Protein flexibility and scoring are still open problems for docking. I
will present some current developments around the docking tool FlexX,
which address these topics.

In the first part of the talk I will introduce the new module FlexE,
which is able to take into account protein flexibility and other
variations within the protein while docking. Different applications of
the FlexE approach will be discussed.

In the second part I will talk about an integrated docking workflow that
allows for interactive analysis of docking results and rapid prototyping
of scoring functions, in order to create target specific scoring
functions. As a proof of concept for this approach, we docked a set of
known active compounds with standard FlexX and derived pharmacophor
constraints by statistical analysis of the results. Using these
constraints in FlexX-Pharm let to a better enrichment.
