Inhibition of acetylcholinesterase by two genistein derivatives: kinetic analysis, molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation
In this study two genistein derivatives (G1 and G2) are reported as inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE), and differences in the inhibition of AChE are described. Although they differ in structure by a single methyl group, the inhibitory effect of G1 (IC50=264 nmol/L) on AChE was 80 times stronger than that of G2 (IC50=21,210 nmol/L). Enzyme-kinetic analys...
متن کاملComplementarity Between a Docking and a High-Throughput Screen in Discovering New Cruzain Inhibitors†
Virtual and high-throughput screens (HTS) should have complementary strengths and weaknesses, but studies that prospectively and comprehensively compare them are rare. We undertook a parallel docking and HTS screen of 197861 compounds against cruzain, a thiol protease target for Chagas disease, looking for reversible, competitive inhibitors. On workup, 99% of the hits were eliminated as false p...
متن کاملMolecular docking analysis of RN18 and VEC5 in A3G-Vif inhibition
The HIV-1 protein Vif is essential for in vivo viral replication that targets the human DNA-editing enzyme, APOBEC3G (A3G), which inhibits replication of retroviruses. The Vif-A3G interactions are believed to be important targets for antiviral drug development. Since the interactions of A3G and Vif evade the ubiquitination pathways in human host, the viral replication precedes which otherwise s...
متن کاملMolecular docking analysis and determination of minimum inhibition concentration of VIM-38/R228S
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the effects of residues at 228th positions of VIM-38 on minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) and molecular docking analysis. Materials and methods: blaVIM-38 gene was cloned into expression vector pET100/D-TOPO. Then pET100/D-TOPO-VIM-38 was used to generate the R228S mutation by site-directed mutagenesis. The mutant was transformed into E. co...
