Alphafold-latest🔥 and RFAA🔥 have revolutionize the scope of docking. Previous work was focused on modeling different components separately, but these two studies have used a single model to simultaneously model all biomolecular interactions. Here is a curated paper list containing all kinds of deep learning-based docking, covering Protein-Ligand Docking, Protein-Protein Docking, Protein-Nucleic Acid Docking, and Covalent Docking. Additionally, we refer to works capable of handling various types of docking scenarios simultaneously as 'Versatile Docking'. Future work will encompass tools, datasets, scoring function design, and other relvant topics. Within each category, entries are listed in reverse chronological order, with the most recent first. If a paper has multiple versions, we reference the initial publication date. The following badges are used for according purpose:
