Method

A ligand-based 3D QSAR prediction has been performed using the 3D QSAutogrid/R method.
The 3D QSAR model was previously composed using the structure-activity data available from the literature (considering only pure compounds with measured SPA binding affinity).
The binding poses of non co-crystallized ligands (used as training and test sets) have been refined by means of ensemble cross-docking (the 36 D3Rs' released FXR X-ray protein conformations have been included in the original ensemble of protein structures to enhance the docking resolution).
Cross-validation analysis of the refined 3D QSAR models suggested the probes A, C, e, HD, N, NA, OA as the most predictive, thus used to predict the activity of the D3R FXR agonists.
A rank by rank protocol has been performed.
For each D3R FXR ligand an a-dimensional coefficient (lowest number=highest score) is reported.

D3R's FXR ligands with multiple poses and selected from the docking calculations have been tested through the 3D QSAR. The final score of each ligand with selected multiple poses was then derived by weighting the specific score-pose according to the relative pose occupancy.

In the SuppInfo folder is also included a csv file (Multiple_occupancies_scores.csv) reporting the predicted scores of the multiple considered poses, and the calculation applied to derive the relative corrected score value.
