Results

FlexX is tested on an increasing set of receptor-ligand complexes with known three-dimensional structures taken from the Protein Data Bank. The run time needed for the prediction of a receptor-ligand complex is about 2-3 minutes on a current day workstation.

Complexes we have considered so far and the predictions achieved with FlexX are listed in the following table (see also [RKL96]). Three-dimensional structures of the predicted receptor-ligand complexes are presented as VRML files (You can activate your VRML-Browser in the way described on our help-page.).
The color-coding for these graphics is :
green amino acids of the receptor interacting with the ligand
red for the position of the ligand in the X-ray structure
yellow predicted position of the ligand
dashed interactions between the ligand and the receptor in the predicted position. The color indicates the strength of the interaction (red (strong) -- yellow (medium) -- blue (weak)).
(Hint: set the background color of your VRML viewer to black.)
