Abstract

Molecular docking plays an important role in computer-aided drug molecular optimal design. A knowledge scoring function for estimating the binding free energy by means of distances between atom pairs is introduced, whose formula is similar to that of potential of mean force (PMF). Based on the knowledge scoring function, and combining an improved multi-population adaptive genetic algorithm based on information entropy, a new docking program KGAsDock is developed. The comparing with famous docking program DOCK6.1 is given, and the numerical results show that the method can improve the docking accuracy considerably without reducing computing efficiency.
