A knowledge-based scoring function, ITScore_TF, was used to evaluate these
binding models. The scoring function was originally developed with a statistical
mechanics-based iterative method using using a database containing 786 protein-ligand
complex structures.

maxconfs=500 #OMEGA
Gasteiger charges #Vina
All the released crystal structures of human FXR
protein-small molecule complexes were collected from the Protein Data Bank.
The co-crystal structures for FXR_1-FXR_36 provided by D3R were also included.
If there exist more than one PDB entries containing identical small molecules
binding to the same pocket, the structure with a higher resolution was kept,
resulting in a total of 62 resulting crystal structures.
Preparation for docking with Vina was done using MGLTools,
in which the ligand PDB files generated with OMEGA were converted to the PDBQT
format by assigning partial charges and atom types.

Re-scoring function, ITscore_v1 #ITScore version 1.0
For a query compound, ensemble docking was performed using all the 62 FXR protein
structures collected from the PDB or provided by D3R. A modified version of AutoDock Vina was used for the sampling,
outputting up to 500 binding models for further evaluation. A knowledge-based scoring function,
ITScore_v1, was used to evaluate these binding models. The scoring function was developed with a statistical
mechanics-based iterative method using a database containing 786 protein-ligand complex structures.
