Accurate identification of structural features of ligand-protein binding is an essential step to characterizing the protein function and developing drugs with optimized sensitivity and specificity. BSP-SLIM is a blind molecular docking method on low-resolution protein structures. The method first identifies putative ligand binding sites by structurally matching the target to the template holo-structures. The ligand-protein docking conformation is then constructed by local shape and chemical feature complementarities between ligand and the negative image of binding pockets.
