CB-Dock
Cavity-detection guided Blind Docking
CB-Dock is a protein-ligand docking method which automatically identifies the binding sites, calculates the center and size, customizes the docking box size according to the query ligands and then perform the molecular docking with AutoDock Vina. Large-scale benchmarks show that the cavity-focused docking can enhance the hit ratio and accuracy of blind docking. Accordingly, CB-Dock can facilitate the docking procedure and improve the accuracy by predicting the binding sites of target proteins using our curvature-based cavity detection approach (CurPocket) and the binding poses of query ligands using AutoDock Vina.
