The associations amongst protein and ligand can be assessed for scoring functions based on the binding modes of ligand obtained from search algorithms. Several scoring functions have been proposed and every method has their own strengths and weaknesses, hence a multiple scoring analysis referred as consensus scoring increases the overall signal noise ratio. Therefore, top ten ligands obtained and were subjected to re-scoring using mcule, AutoDock and X-score functions. A computational consensus scoring analysis was taken up for a dataset of top ten PubChem compounds which are identified to exhibit better inhibitory properties against phosphotransacetylase, a putative drug target for S. aureus.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
