Pred-binding: large-scale protein-ligand binding affinity prediction.
Drug target interactions (DTIs) are crucial in pharmacology and drug discovery. Presently, experimental determination of compound-protein interactions remains challenging because of funding investment and difficulties of purifying proteins. In this study, we proposed two in silico models based on support vector machine (SVM) and random forest (RF), using 1589 molecular descriptors and 1080 prot...
متن کاملProtein conformational dynamics dictate the binding affinity for a ligand.
Interactions between a protein and a ligand are essential to all biological processes. Binding and dissociation are the two fundamental steps of ligand-protein interactions, and determine the binding affinity. Intrinsic conformational dynamics of proteins have been suggested to play crucial roles in ligand binding and dissociation. Here, we demonstrate how protein dynamics dictate the binding a...
متن کاملRegulation of protein-ligand binding affinity by hydrogen bond pairing
Hydrogen (H)-bonds potentiate diverse cellular functions by facilitating molecular interactions. The mechanism and the extent to which H-bonds regulate molecular interactions are a largely unresolved problem in biology because the H-bonding process continuously competes with bulk water. This interference may significantly alter our understanding of molecular function, for example, in the elucid...
متن کاملLigand Specificity of Bean Leaf Soluble Auxin-binding Protein.
The soluble bean leaf auxin-binding protein (ABP) has a high affinity for a range of auxins including indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), alpha-napthaleneacetic acid, phenylacetic acid, 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid, and structurally related auxins. A large number of nonauxin compounds that are nevertheless structurally related to auxins do not displace IAA from bean ABP. Bean ABP has a high affini...
متن کاملLigand specificity of a high-affinity binding site for lipo-chitooligosaccharidic Nod factors in Medicago cell suspension cultures.
Rhizobial lipo-chitooligosaccharides (LCOs) are signaling molecules involved in host-range recognition for the establishment of the symbiosis with leguminous plants. The major LCO of Rhizobium meliloti, the symbiont of Medicago plants contains four or five N-acetylglucosamines, O-acetylated and N-acylated with a C16:2 fatty acid on the terminal nonreducing sugar and O-sulfated on the reducing s...
