In this work, we validate and analyze the results of previously published cross
docking experiments and classify failed dockings based on the conformational
changes observed in the receptors. We show that a majority of failed experiments
(i.e. 25 out of 33, involving four different receptors: cAPK, CDK2, Ricin and
HIVp) are due to conformational changes in side chains near the active site. For
these cases, we identify the side chains to be made flexible during docking
calculation by superimposing receptors and analyzing steric overlap between
various ligands and receptor side chains. We demonstrate that allowing these side
chains to assume rotameric conformations enables the successful cross docking of
19 complexes (ligand all atom RMSD < 2.0 A) using our docking software FLIPDock.
The number of side receptor side chains interacting with a ligand can vary
according to the ligand's size and shape. Hence, when starting from a complex
with a particular ligand one might have to extend the region of potential
interacting side chains beyond the ones interacting with the known ligand. We
discuss distance-based methods for selecting additional side chains in the
neighborhood of the known active site. We show that while using the molecular
surface to grow the neighborhood is more efficient than Euclidian-distance
selection, the number of side chains selected by these methods often remains too
large and additional methods for reducing their count are needed. Despite these
difficulties, using geometric constraints obtained from the network of bonded and
non-bonded interactions to rank residues and allowing the top ranked side chains
to be flexible during docking makes 22 out of 25 complexes successful.
