    Background:

    • Molecular docking is crucial for identifying drug candidates.
    • Scoring functions guide docking by estimating binding affinity.
    • Existing methods may require refinement for optimal accuracy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a new application of DrugScore as an objective function in molecular docking.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of DrugScore-guided docking using AutoDock's Lamarckian genetic algorithm.
    • To compare the performance of DrugScore against the AutoDock scoring function in flexible docking.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing knowledge-based pair potentials from DrugScore as the objective function.
    • Employing the Lamarckian genetic algorithm within AutoDock for docking searches.
