Welcome to DISI (Disi Is Still Incomplete, "dizzy"), the wiki of the Shoichet Lab and Irwin Lab at UCSF. This wiki aims to document our software tools, databases, protocols and resources related to computational ligand discovery, molecular docking and systems pharmacology as hosted at the domain "docking.org". To contribute, login and edit to help us improve (please!). This wiki serves several constituencies. Many pages are designed for specific audiences and may not make much sense to a reader who is not the target demographic. Feedback form. News Outages and updates. chat on discord

wiki.docking.org documents the efforts in the Shoichet and Irwin labs at UCSF to provide tools and databases for ligand (drug) discovery to investigators worldwide, both in academia and in companies. We use three core technologies.
- 1) Molecular docking screens take a library of compounds that are easy to acquire for experimental testing. Investigators who use molecular docking often find completely novel molecules that modulate biology (see [ https://bkslab.org/publications]).
- 2) Analog-by-catalog works on the molecular similarity principle. Once a compound is found to modulate a protein target, a logical and efficient next step is to test close analogs for higher (or lower) activity. By exploring the chemical space around an active, compounds can be "optimized" for both activity as well as other molecular properties.
- 3) Target prediction. Given a molecule, our program SEA can predict possible molecular targets based on its resemblance of known actives. In this way, the activity of a compound with an unknown molecular explanation (e.g. phenotypic hits) can be attributed to a particular molecular target ("mechanism of action").
We also curate the databases underlying these tools. This website can be a little cryptic as it is designed for specific, technical audiences. Still we hope you find it interesting and useful. If you have any questions, please write to chemistry 4 biology at gmail dot com, or use one of the many other communication channels we support.
