  • Title: Supervised consensus scoring for docking and virtual screening.
    Author: Teramoto R, Fukunishi H.
    Journal: J Chem Inf Model; 2007; 47(2):526-34. PubMed ID: 17295466.
    Abstract:
    Docking programs are widely used to discover novel ligands efficiently and can predict protein-ligand complex structures with reasonable accuracy and speed. However, there is an emerging demand for better performance from the scoring methods. Consensus scoring (CS) methods improve the performance by compensating for the deficiencies of each scoring function. However, conventional CS and existing scoring functions have the same problems, such as a lack of protein flexibility, inadequate treatment of salvation, and the simplistic nature of the energy function used. Although there are many problems in current scoring functions, we focus our attention on the incorporation of unbound ligand conformations. To address this problem, we propose supervised consensus scoring (SCS), which takes into account protein-ligand binding process using unbound ligand conformations with supervised learning. An evaluation of docking accuracy for 100 diverse protein-ligand complexes shows that SCS outperforms both CS and 11 scoring functions (PLP, F-Score, LigScore, DrugScore, LUDI, X-Score, AutoDock, PMF, G-Score, ChemScore, and D-score). The success rates of SCS range from 89% to 91% in the range of rmsd < 2 A, while those of CS range from 80% to 85%, and those of the scoring functions range from 26% to 76%. Moreover, we also introduce a method for judging whether a compound is active or inactive with the appropriate criterion for virtual screening. SCS performs quite well in docking accuracy and is presumably useful for screening large-scale compound databases before predicting binding affinity.
