Utilizing local surface matching between the ligand and the receptor pocket, PL-PatchSurfer3 is a protein-ligand virtual screening technique. The complementarity of the patches is computed using the three-dimensional Zernike descriptor on this platform. A thorough explanation of the program can be found in the reference listed below.
