TY - THES T1 - Gradient based optimization in ligand-receptor docking A1 - Fuhrmann,Jan Y1 - 2009/11/18 N2 - In this work, we compared six global search heuristics and two scoring functions in the field of ligand-receptor docking. A new way for the gradient based minimization of a ligand whose position in space is defined by translation, orientation and a set of torsional flexible angles was implemented and thoroughly tested. The default local search method of a Lamarckian genetic algorithm was replaced by our novel gradient based approach and the new hybrid was compared to non-gradient global search heuristics. Finally, we present our docking program BALLDock, in which we incorporated our findings.
