Course Details
- RMSD (Root Mean Square Deviation) of protein-protein docking
- Interface RMSD (iRMSD) for assessing the accuracy of the predicted interface
- Success Rate of Docking (SR): Percentage of near-native poses within a defined threshold
- Enrichment Factor (EF) at various ranks: measuring the ability to retrieve near-native structures
- Binding Free Energy Prediction Accuracy
- Computational Efficiency (Docking Time): Time required for a single docking run
- Precision and Recall of Docking Results
- F1-score for evaluating the balance between precision and recall in docking results
