Molecular Docking
A computational method that predicts the preferred binding orientation and affinity of a small molecule (ligand) within the binding site of a target protein. Docking algorithms use scoring functions to estimate binding free energy and rank candidate compounds. It is a cornerstone of structure-based drug design used to screen millions of compounds virtually.
