Abstract: The development of computer technology greatly facilitated the process of life science research.The study on the use of molecular docking receptor protein and drug interactions is the current hot spot.The molecular models of proteins and drugs are established and the interaction are studyed.In this way, the more ideal, safe and effective drugs are designed.The problem how to create the molecule model has been solved.Protein molecules and drug molecules docking in what manner, and this problem is worth exploring.This article describes the current research progress in molecular docking, emphasizing on its methods and tools.

Key words: molecular docking, protein flexibility, optimization model, molecular simulation
