Abstract Cyclic peptides represent a highly promising class of biopharmaceutical scaffolds. The screening of cyclic peptides against protein targets can be greatly facilitated using computational approaches, especially molecular docking. However, it remains a crucial challenge to accurately predict protein–cyclic pepti...
A unified benchmarking framework is established that enables systematic evaluation of docking methods across diverse tasks and provides critical insights into the strengths and limitations of current docking strategies, thereby informing future developments in protein-protein docking research.

Accurate prediction of metalloprotein-ligand interactions is critical for metalloprotein-targeted drug discovery. Conventional docking tools and existing deep learning (DL) models fail to reliably capture metal-ligand interactions, hampering the discovery of potent metalloprotein inhibitors. Here, we propose MetalloDoc...
