We developed ITScore, a knowledge-based scoring function for protein-ligand interactions. ITScore excels in identifying native binding modes, predicting binding affinity, and virtual screening, proving valuable for structure-based drug design.

Area of Science:

  • Computational chemistry
  • Structural biology
  • Drug discovery

Background:

  • Accurate prediction of protein-ligand interactions is crucial for structure-based drug design.
  • Existing scoring functions often face limitations in identifying correct binding modes and predicting affinities.
  • Development of novel scoring functions is essential to improve drug discovery pipelines.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate an iterative knowledge-based scoring function, ITScore, for protein-ligand interactions.
  • To assess ITScore's performance in native structure identification, binding affinity prediction, and virtual database screening.
  • To demonstrate ITScore's utility and compatibility with existing docking programs.

Main Methods:

  • ITScore was developed as an iterative knowledge-based scoring function.

  • Performance was evaluated on benchmark datasets for native structure identification (100 complexes).
  • Binding affinity prediction was tested on two datasets (100 and 77 complexes).
  • Virtual database screening enrichment tests were conducted against four target proteins.

    • Main Results:

    • ITScore achieved 82% success in identifying native-like binding modes (top-ranked) and 98% (top five).
    • Good correlation (R=0.65) was observed for binding affinity prediction on the first dataset.
    • High correlation (R=0.81) was achieved for binding affinity prediction on the second dataset.
    • ITScore demonstrated high enrichment in all virtual database screening tests.

    Conclusions:

    • ITScore is a robust scoring function for evaluating protein-ligand interactions.
    • ITScore demonstrates superior performance in native structure identification, binding affinity prediction, and virtual screening.
    • ITScore can be readily integrated into existing docking programs for structure-based drug design applications.
