Flexible ligand-flexible protein docking in protein kinase systems.

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Quite a few reviews on  molecular docking  have already appeared. This mini-review focuses on methods that incorporate protein flexibility in docking rather than those that treat protein targets as rigid molecules. This is still a challenging problem but there are encouraging recent advances. These methods will be reviewed particularly in light of their applications to  protein kinases  and  phosphatases . In addition to obtaining correct docking pose, recent developments on exploring docking pathways are also highlighted.
