Hello,

Thank you for your inquiry regarding the nature of the 'score' in the docking results. I would like to clarify that this score is not equivalent to IC50, Kd, or Ki values. Instead, it represents a residue-atom distance likelihood potential.

For a more detailed understanding of this scoring metric, I recommend referring to the research paper which can be accessed via the DOI: 10.1021/acs.jmedchem.2c00991.

Best regards,

Xujun
