  • Applied the expanded method to post-process binding poses from a docking study (220 proteins) and analyze ligands from an automated generation algorithm (anthrax oedema factor).

    • Main Results:

    • The expanded interaction fingerprint method significantly increased the success rate in identifying crystallographic binding modes in the docking study.
    • Application to the anthrax oedema factor dataset yielded a more intuitive and comprehensive analysis of automated ligand-generation output.
    • The enhanced fingerprint provides a richer representation of ligand-protein interactions.

    Conclusions:

    • The expanded interaction fingerprint method offers a superior approach to analyzing ligand-protein binding modes compared to basic binary representations.
    • This enhanced method improves the reliability of docking and structure-based drug design.
    • The findings suggest broader applicability in computational drug discovery and development.
