TL;DR

A state-aware functional classifier (SAFC) is developed that integrates molecular dynamics derived receptor ensembles, ensemble docking and protein ligand interaction graphs that provides dynamics-aware functional activity rankings for generated molecules that were partly complementary to docking, drug-likeness and synthetic accessibility scores.

Open-Sourced In Silico Drug Screening.

This chapter describes a structure-based computational approach to perform high-throughput ligand screens of chemical libraries using open-source software programs and illustrates this workflow with the enzymatic molecular target NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase1 (NQO1), which is overexpressed in a number of human solid tumors.
