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 MetalloDock, the first DL-based docking framework specially designed for metalloprotein targets. By innovatively integrating an autoregressive spatial decoding engine with a physics-constrained geometric generation paradigm, MetalloDock can precisely reconstruct metal coordination geometries and accurately capture metal-ligand interactions, which enhance both the accuracy of metalloprotein-ligand docking and binding affinity prediction. Extensive evaluations on our custom-built benchmark data set demonstrate that MetalloDock outperforms existing methods, including AlphaFold3, in docking success rate and virtual screening performance for metalloprotein targets. In real-world applications, MetalloDock successfully identified multiple novel hit compounds in a virtual screening campaign targeting the prostate-specific membrane antigen. Additionally, it enabled rational drug design for acidic polymerase endonuclease, leading to the discovery of potent inhibitors. These results highlight the broad applicability of MetalloDock in accelerating metalloprotein-targeted drug discovery and provide a standardized framework for future evaluation of metalloprotein-specific docking algorithms.
