Table 2.

Docking and scoring results for Phase 2 were evaluated by Spearman ρ for relative ranking across all the ligands for a target and by the median, symmetry-corrected RMSD for the top-pose ligands (based on all ligands with crystal structures available). Numbers in bold denote good performance (median RMSD ≤ 2.0Å or ρ ≥ 0.5). For docking, methods with all median RMSD ≤ 2Å are listed in bold with blue background, and italics with green backgrounds mark those with all median RMSD ≤ 3Å. For ranking, methods with at least one ρ ≥ 0.5 are listed in italics with green background, and those in bold with blue background have a second system with ρ ≥ 0.4. The statistical significance is discussed at length in the text.

a

Dashed numbers denote alternate methods from the same group. Many participants submitted more than one set of predictions to compare different approaches and parameters.

b

The overall evaluation of docking was calculated by adding points for each median RMSD across all three targets: 3 points for ≤2Å, 2 points for ≤2.4Å, 1 point for ≤3Å, or 0 for >3Å. The overall evaluation of ranking was calculated by adding points for each ρ across all three targets: 2 points for ≥0.5, 1 point for ≥0.4, or 0 for <0.4. Adjustments were made 1) for participants who submitted results for only two systems (groups V and N are not penalized), 2) for methods where docking was less than optimal for all three targets but none had RMSD >3Å (groups D, K, and F), and 3) for good rankings when the median RMSD was >3Å (no points for group U on SYK, no points for groups Q and Y for TrmD).

c

The crystal structure used for docking each ligand was randomly chosen from among those in the set provided to the applicants (compare to f below).

d

Some participants were unable to provide details about their methods.

e

ρ values are italicized when coupled with a median RMSD > 3Å. In these cases, ρ values are suspect.

f

Each ligand in the set was specifically docked to the receptor of the crystal structure with the most similar ligand bound.

g

The docked pose was built into the binding site using substructure alignment and minimization in SMINA(Vina).
