Fig. 4

Visual comparison of the best-scored conformations obtained by different docking tools. Four testing items are selected and noted in the Additional file 1: Table S1. In the sub-plot for each item, there are three molecular visualizing models of ligands, i.e., bonds (crystallization), ball-and-stick (the compared results) and licorice (the results from our method). And each visual model displays with specific colors: the bonds with a red (crystallization) color, the ball-and-stick with blue (Vina), purple (PSO-c4), orange (PSOVina) and grey (GWOVina) colors and the licorice with yellow (MPSOVina), cyan (MRDPSO-c4) and green (MRDPSOVina) colors. The RMSD values of docking results, shown within the legend boxes, have the same color with visual ligand molecules
