In this paper, Kuntz present a way of docking prediction by searching the steric overlap based on the knowing surface structure of 2 proteins. It originally developed by Irwin “Tack” Kuntz and colleagues at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), DOCK was initially used for small-molecule docking. However, it laid the foundation for the development of more advanced docking algorithms and software that could handle macromolecular docking.

In the first generation of the Dock, it focus on 2 rigid bodies. It treat 2 proteins as one object. The goal of this program is to fix the 6 degree of freedom (3 transitions and 3 orientations) that determine the best relative position. For achieving this goal, three rules are followed:

  1. No overlap between 2 proteins
  2. all hydrogen are pared with N or O within 3.5 Å.
  3. all ligand atoms within the receptor binding cite.

Dock families:

  • 1994: Firstly extend the DOCK into DNA-protein Docking and by screening the Cambridge Crystallographic Database, they find that the protein CC-1065 has high score.[2]
    • 1999: DREAM++[3]: It is a extent package for Dock. It use Dock to predict binding and evaluated the interaction and predicts the product, finally search to find the prohibits.
  • 2001: DOCK 4.0[4]: It added incremental construction (to sample the internal degrees of freedom of the ligand) and random search. In the Dock4, the ligand is not rigid anymore. Ligands with rotatable-bonds generated multiple conformation by other model.
  • 2006: DOCK 5.0[5]:
    • anchoring: new scoring functions, sampling methods and analysis tools; energy minimizing was mentioned during the.
    • scoring: energy scoring function based on the AMBERL: only intermolecular van der Waals (VDW) and electrostatic components in the function.
  • 2009: DOCK 6: Combining techniques to model RNA–small molecule complexes
  • 2013: DOCK3.7[6]:

  1. aSampling methods are defined as Genetic Algorithm (GA), Conformational Expansion (CE), Monte Carlo (MC), incremental construction (IC), merged target structure ensemble (SE), torsional search (TS)
  2. bScoring functions are defined as either empirically derived (ED) or based on molecule mechanics (MM)
  3. cIf the package does not accommodate this option, the symbol NA (Not Available) is used
  4. dAdditional accuracy can be added to the scoring function using implicit solvent models. The most commonly used options are distance dependent dielectric (DDD), a parameterized desolvation term (DS), generalized Born (GB) and linearized Poisson Boltzmann (PB)
