Reliable prediction of protein-ligand docking pose requires proper account of induced fit effects. Treating both the ligand and the protein as flexible molecules is still challenging because many degrees of freedom are involved. Peptides are one type of ligand that acre particularly difficult to study because of their extreme flexibility. In this study, we tested a molecular-dynamics-based simulated-annealing cycling protocol in docking peptides to four protein kinases and two phosphatases using two implicit-solvent models: a distance-dependent dielectric model (epsilon(r) = 4r) and a version of the Generalized Born model termed GBMV. We found that the simpler epsilon(r) = 4r model identified docking pose better than the more expensive GBMV model. In addition, rescoring structures obtained from one implicit-solvent model with the other identified good docking poses for all six systems studied. Including protein energy in scoring also improved results.
