A Hybrid DELGA Algorithm for Protein Ligand Docking

Abstract

Protein-ligand docking is a computational molecular modeling method that is used in drug design to predict the optimal binding pose between the ligand and receptor. AutoDock is an open-source freeware program used to predict docking poses. It uses LGA) Lamarckian genetic algorithm to enumerate the binding energy. In this research work, we proposed an approach of hybrid Differential evolution base Lamarckian genetic (DELGA) algorithm to calculate the lowest binding energy. The experiment conducted to compute the 65 molecular instances, the results exposed that our approach predicts lowest docking energy with minimum root mean square deviation (RMSD) in comparison to the LGA, SA and PSO algorithms.
