Abstract

In structural molecular biology and computer-assisted drug creation, molecular docking is a crucial tool. Predicting the prevailing binding mode (s) of a ligand with a protein having a known three-dimensional structure is the aim of ligand-protein docking. Effective docking methods use a scoring system that correctly ranks candidate dockings and efficiently explore high-dimensional spaces. Lead optimization benefits greatly from the use of docking to do virtual screening on huge libraries of compounds, rate the outcomes, and offer structural ideas for how the ligands inhibit the target. It can be difficult to interpret the findings of stochastic search methods, and setting up the input structures for docking is just as crucial as docking itself. In recent years, computer-assisted drug design has relied heavily on the molecular docking technique to estimate the binding affinity and assess the interactive mode since it can significantly increase efficiency and lower research costs. The main concepts, techniques, and frequently utilized molecular docking applications are introduced in this work. Additionally, it contrasts the most popular docking applications and suggests relevant study fields. Finally, a brief summary of recent developments in molecular docking, including the integrated technique and deep learning, is provided. Current docking applications are not precise enough to forecast the binding affinity due to the insufficient molecular structure and the inadequacies of the scoring mechanism.
