Efficient conformational sampling and weak scoring in docking programs? Strategy of the wisdom of crowds

Abstract Background In drug design, an efficient structure-based optimization of a ligand needs the precise knowledge of the protein–ligand interactions. In the absence of experimental information, docking programs are necessary for ligand positioning, and the choice of a reliable program is essenti...
