Predict small-molecule binding poses with DiffDock-L (Corso et al. 2023/2024, github.com/gcorso/DiffDock) — blind diffusion docking that places a ligand into a protein pocket without a predefined search box and ranks the samples with a learned confidence model. Reach for this skill to dock a SMILES or SDF against a PDB, to generate ranked 3D poses for a small fragment library, or to get a starting pose for downstream rescoring. DiffDock predicts geometry, not affinity.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# DiffDock-L

DiffDock-L is a blind pose predictor: given a protein structure and a ligand,
it samples ligand placements over the whole surface with a diffusion model and
ranks them with a separately trained confidence head. The confidence score
correlates with pose correctness, not with binding free energy — DiffDock does
not predict whether or how tightly the ligand binds, so for hit triage you
still pair it with a scorer (GNINA, MM-GBSA) or with `boltz`'s affinity head.
For protein–protein and nucleic-acid co-folding, route to `boltz` or `chai1`.
Code and weights are MIT (github.com/gcorso/DiffDock).

## Running it

```bash
cd $DIFFDOCK_REPO   # a clone of github.com/gcorso/DiffDock
python3 -m inference \
  --config default_inference_args.yaml \
  --protein_path target.pdb \
  --ligand_description "COc1ccc(C#N)cc1" \
  --out_dir out
```

For more than one complex, give `--protein_ligand_csv batch.csv` instead of the
two single-complex flags; the CSV has four columns — `complex_name`,
`protein_path`, `ligand_description` (SMILES or an `.sdf`/`.mol2` path), and
`protein_sequence`. Leave `protein_path` empty and fill `protein_sequence` to
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add aipoch/open-science/diffdock@sha256:43a40762af778709

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260814.c9a70d8, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
