True or False: Molecular docking predicts how a small molecule binds to a target protein's active site.

  1. True
  2. False

Answer: True

Docking algorithms (AutoDock, Glide) simulate ligand-protein interactions, scoring binding affinity. Accelerates drug discovery by virtual screening of compound libraries before synthesis. [[NCERT Chemistry Class 12, DBT Reports]]
