I have done with the molecular docking by using autodock vina tools, then i calculated inhibition constant from binding energy. Now how i can correlate inhibition constant with binding energy in my results?.
Of course, there is. In order to affect the function of a protein, a drug molecule needs to bind it. The quantitative relationship between IC50 and Kd is called Cheng-Prusoff equation. However, the equation must be used with caution - it only works under certain conditions (see below).
Autodock uses the binding energy to calculate the inhibition constant. The binding energy is the free energy change for the protein-inhibitor interaction (ΔG). This is used to determine the inhibition constant (ki) which is, in turn, the dissociation constant (Kd) of the protein-inhibitor complex.
Agree with Dmitri Kireev and Tushar Chakraborty " In order to affect the function of a protein, a drug molecule needs to bind it. The quantitative relationship between IC50 and Kd is called Cheng-Prusoff equation", " Autodock uses the binding energy to calculate the inhibition constant.

Also inhibition constant is in nano Molar so we can assume that our targeted compound is good.
