ABSTRACT

With the rapid development of modern life science, computational Molecular docking has gradually become one of the core disciplines and methods of modern life science research. Computational docking studies the relationship between the structure and pharmacodynamics of biological macromolecules and the interaction between biological macromolecules and ligands. It promotes the development of protein engineering, protein design, and computer-aided drug design with powerful and various docking software in predicting the three-dimensional structure and dynamic characteristics of proteins from protein sequences. Nowadays, this computing power can be provided by the GPU through the use of a general-purpose computing model on GPUs. This article presents two approaches to parallelizing the descriptive algorithms on the GPU to solve the molecular docking problem and then evaluating them in terms of the computation time achieved. The proposed approaches are effective in accelerating molecular docking on GPUs compared to a single-core or multicore CPU. Besides introducing parallelization approaches, we propose a new descriptive algorithm based on the bee swarm algorithm to solve the molecular docking problem as an alternative to traditional descriptive algorithms such as the genetic algorithm.
