Abstract:

eHiTS_Score is the new scoring function in the latest release of the eHiTS  docking program.  eHiTS_Score takes advantage of the temperature factors in PDB files during the statistics collection phase of the scoring function generation to better capture the interaction geometries between ligands and receptors.  The data collected is then fitted to create an "empirical" function to represents the statistical interaction data.  The weights of each
interaction term are derived by training using experimentally derived  binding affinity information to generate the full eHiTS_Score scoring function.  This novel scoring function has the additional benefit of family training based on automatic clustering of input receptor structures.  Analysis of the results from eHiTS_Score on a very large and diverse test set
of 1091 PDB structures showed very good correlation to known binding affinities.  Additional analysis of the effect of family training will also be presented.
