Binding Affinity via Docking: Fact and Fiction
In 1982, Kuntz et al. published an article with the title “A Geometric Approach to Macromolecule-Ligand Interactions”, where they described a method “to explore geometrically feasible alignment of ligands and receptors of known ...

Inhibition of sequestration of human B-2 bradykinin receptor by phenylarsine oxide or sucrose allows determination of a receptor affinity shift and ligand dissociation in intact cells [PDF]
Depending on their interaction with intracellular proteins, G proteincoupled receptors (GPCR) often display different affinities for agonists at 37degreesC. Determining the affinity at that temperature is often difficult in intact cells as most GPCRs are

Exploring protein-ligand binding affinity prediction with electron density-based geometric deep learning [PDF]
Rational structure-based drug design relies on accurate predictions of protein-ligand binding affinity from structural molecular information. Some of the existing deep learning approaches for this purpose have been criticized for insufficiently capturing
