Abstract: In this study, the screening power of a AutoDock Vina scoring function was considered as an optimisation problem. It was hypothesised that the screening power of the AutoDock Vina scoring function can be optimised by a black-box optimiser. The weights of the energy terms of the AutoDock Vina scoring function were considered as input parameters for the black-box optimiser. This was implemented in Python. The study was designed to develop target-specific weights for six protein targets using active/decoy datasets retrieved from a database of useful (docking) decoys (DUD-E). The results demonstrated some improvements in the area under the curve (AUC) of the ROC curve and in the enrichment factor of both the training and test sets.
