đ§Ź Awesome Docking
[](https://awesome.re)  
![]()
**AlphaFold-latest**đ„ (with newly updated **AlphaFold3**đ„ )and **RFAA**đ„ have revolutionize the scope of docking. Previous work was focused on modeling different components separately, but these two studies have used a single model to simultaneously model all biomolecular interactions. Here is a curated paper list containing all kinds of deep learning-based docking, covering **Protein-Ligand Docking**, **Protein-Protein Docking**, **Protein-Nucleic Acid Docking**, and **Covalent Docking**. Additionally, we refer to works capable of handling various types of docking scenarios simultaneously as '**Versatile Docking**'. Future work will encompass tools, datasets, scoring function design, and other relvant topics. Within each category, entries are listed in reverse chronological order, with the most recent first. If a paper has multiple versions, we reference the initial publication date. The following badges are used for according purpose:
   
If you have a paper or resource you'd like to add, please submit a pull request or open an issue.
