SciPy2004 Overview Background FlexTree package Development Application of FlexTree Summary
SciPy2004 Docking Study ‘Lock and Key’ model Induced Fit –50% of dockings fail because of induced-fit
SciPy2004 Background Biological Molecules –Large conformational space Docking Study –docking related conformational sub-space is relatively small –still too large to explore explicitly

SciPy2004 Application of FlexTree Searching the conformational sub-space
SciPy2004 FlexTree-based Computations Automated Docking
SciPy2004 Genetic Algorithm Hinge Float: hinge angle Genome The motion parameters are used as ‘Genes’
SciPy2004 Docking Test Result Population size = 500, converges after 91 generations the best docked conformation –interaction energy : Kcal/mol –compare with experimental result : Kcal/mol –RMSD = 0.35 Å (all atoms ) v.s. crystal structure
