About ValiDock
While some docking schemes are able to efficiently find good solutions, their level of performance in identifying such solutions is insufficient. Thus, evaluating solutions and finding hidden good solutions among a group of decoys becomes an important task.
The formation of binding energy funnels is known to be a relatively reliable indicator for identifying near-native models of protein-protein complexes among a group of solution candidates.
ValiDock gets as input a set of suspected docking solutions. For each candidate it samples many random perturbations and refine each one of them by the FiberDock method. Then it draws an image of the binding funnel which shows the energy of each refined perturbation vs. its RMSD from the original solution candidate.
