Docking allows the scientist to virtually screen a database of compounds and predict the strongest binders based on various scoring functions. It explores ways in which two molecules, such as drugs and an enzyme receptors fits together and dock to each other as well. The molecules binding to a receptor, inhibit its function, and thus act as drug. The drug derivatives and receptor complexes can be identified via docking and their relative stabilities were evaluated using molecular dynamics and their binding affinities, using free energy simulations.
