LeDock is a molecular docking software designed for ligand-protein interactions, compatible with Linux, macOS, and Windows.[2][3][4] It supports the Tripos Mol2 file format and employs a simulated annealing and genetic algorithm approach for docking. Utilizing a knowledge-based scoring scheme, it is categorized as a flexible docking method.
Performance
In performance evaluations, LeDock demonstrated accuracy in predicting molecular poses and outperformed AutoDock Vina in screening for inhibitors of Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA gyrase B. It was noted for its effectiveness in sampling ligand conformational space, identifying near-native binding poses, and having a flexible docking protocol, according to a 2017 review. The Linux version includes tools for high-throughput virtual screening in the cloud.
