This paper considers six different 3D structures of caspase–7 protein from Protein Data Bank. The distance between structures is defined as RMSD between corresponding active sites' atoms of 3D structures after alignment. Despite the distances between the complexes being less than the resolution of the PDB structures, the results of virtual screening tests significantly differ for these structures. Score frequency distributions of binders and non–binders were used for the analysis of the results of virtual screening tests. The structures split into two groups: 3 structures have nearly identical score frequency distributions for binders and non–binders, while 3 other structures have similar distributions of binders with two peaks, which allows to distinguish part of binders from all non–binders by score. The key feature of structures that allows to distinguish part of binders by score is the position of single residue TYR230, which turns aside and opens a buried part of caspase–7 active site.

Key words: virtual screening, protein structure effect, caspase–7, docking, initial data dependence.
