Abstract:
The ability of ligands to form crucial interactions with a protein target, characteristic for the substrate and/or inhibitors, could be considered a structural criterion for identifying potent binders among docked compounds. Structural filtration of predicted poses improves the performance of virtual screening and helps in recovering specifically bound ligands. Here, we present vsFilt-a highly automated and easy-to-use Web server for postdocking structural filtration. The new tool can detect various types of interactions that are known to be involved in the molecular recognition, including hydrogen and halogen bonds, ionic interactions, hydrophobic contacts, π-stacking, and cation-π interactions. A case study for poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 ligands illustrates the utility of the software. The Web server is freely available at https://biokinet.belozersky.msu.ru/vsfilt.

Ligand Binding Sites
Protein-ligand interactions are quite specific; even though numerous potential ligands surround a cellular protein at any given time, only a particular ligand can bind to that protein. Moreover, a ligand binds only to a dedicated area on the surface of the protein, known as the...
