Abstract
Based both on the practice of post-processing by a human expert and on the higher values of the accuracy metrics of machine learning scoring functions, it is suggested that when estimating the free energy of binding in a ligand-receptor complex, a significant part of intermolecular interactions is still not explicitly taken into account. An assessment is made of how explicit consideration of non-complementary ligand-receptor interactions could improve the accuracy of the description of contemporary classical scoring functions, which tend to use only terms of complementary/favorable interactions.
