AI models outperform physics-based methods in protein-ligand docking

A new benchmark called PoseX has been developed to evaluate protein-ligand docking methods, comparing AI approaches against traditional physics-based techniques. Experiments using PoseX demonstrated that AI methods generally outperform physics-based approaches in docking success rates. The research also found that combining AI modeling with physics-based post-processing, particularly after addressing ligand chirality issues in AI co-folding methods, can significantly improve results.
