Yucca: An Efficient Algorithm for Small-Molecule Docking
Vicky Choi · Chemistry & Biodiversity · 2005
In this paper, we present a new algorithm, which is based on an efficient heuristic for local search, for rigid protein-small-molecule docking. We tested our algorithm, called Yucca, on the recent 100-complex benchmark, using the conformer generator OMEGA to generate a set of low-energy conformers. The results showed that Yucca is competitive both in terms of algorithm efficiency and docking accuracy.
