Disclosed is a method of searching for a ligand capable of binding to a target biomacromolecule, comprising the step of:
(1) subjecting a number of low-molecular compounds to docking simulation, based on three-dimensional structural data concerning the low-molecular compounds and three-dimensional structural data concerning a ligand-binding region of the target biomacromolecule, to calculate a docking score for each of the low-molecular compounds, and simultaneously acquire three-dimensional positional data which enable each of the low-molecular compounds to stably bind within the ligand-binding region,
(2) acquiring, from among the three-dimensional positional data obtained, all three-dimensional positional data concerning one or more molecular fragments, with respect to each of low-molecular compounds belonging to a higher group based on docking scores,
(3) counting the three-dimensional positional data concerning each molecular fragment obtained, for each of the molecular fragments,
(4) selecting the type and the three-dimensional positional data of a molecular fragment which shows a localization tendency, based on the counting data, and
(5) selecting one or more molecular fragments from among characteristic molecular fragments determined, and determining a compound which satisfies the characteristic molecular fragments.
