  • Ligand Binding Prediction on Pharmaceutical and Nucleic Acid Targets by the CoDock Group in CASP16 Ren Kong Zunyun Jiang Xufeng Lu Liangxu Xie Shan Chang Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics ABSTRACT Ligand binding prediction is a critical component of structure‐based drug design, gaining prominence in Critical Assessment of protein Structure Prediction (CASP) since its introduction in CASP15. In CASP16, the challenges expanded to include protein‐ligand and nucleic acid‐ligand binding predictions, alongside binding affinity ranking, posing greater computational and methodological demands. This study presents a sophisticated prediction strategy combining template‐based docking, multiple receptor conformations, and AI‐driven scoring to address these challenges. For protein‐ligand systems (L1000‐L4000), we leveraged structural templates from PDB, ligand similarity analysis, and tools like CoDock‐Ligand and AutoDock Vina to predict binding poses. Key successes included accurate predictions for targets like SARS‐CoV‐2 Mpro (L4000) and Autotaxin (L3000), though challenges persisted with binding site flexibility and pose ranking. The prediction of ligand pose achieved satisfactory results, with more than 66% of the distribution having RMSD less than 3 Å. Nucleic acid‐ligand predictions (e.g., ZTP riboswitch) yielded mixed results, highlighting limitations in RNA/DNA structural accuracy. Affinity prediction employed diverse methods, with machine learning‐based SVR_Conjoint outperforming physics‐based approaches (Kendall's Tau = 0.43). Our strategy demonstrated robustness in CASP16, yet underscored the need for advancements in handling conformational dynamics and scoring accuracy. This work provides a framework for future ligand binding prediction efforts in computational drug discovery. 10.1002/prot.70032 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/termsAndConditions#vor
