Practice question
Question
The computational methodology that tries to find the best matching between two molecules, a receptor and ligand is called:
Explanation
Molecular docking predicts preferred orientation and binding affinity of ligand within receptor active site using scoring functions and conformational search algorithms. It underpins structure-based drug design for lead optimization and virtual screening of compound libraries.
