Projects/CASF: Comparative assessment of scoring functions
From Research management course
Problem 53
- Title: CASF: Comparative assessment of scoring functions for protein-ligand docking problem
- Problem: We have to create a scoring model^ which predicts will the couple protein and ligand be complex.
- Data: The project code contains two parts. The first one is ProbalilisticMetricSpaces, and the second one is in a notebook, by request.

- Basic solution: The solution is a linear combination, it is described in this paper, and draft.
- Method: We propose a novel approach to reconstruct the distribution of bonding angles and solve the scoring problem as a problem of metric classification.

Current goals
- To run the basic code with slight model variations and repeat the computational experiment
- To combine the probability distributions with the basic code
- To develop the model and beat the tests
