Computational Fragment-Based Binding Site Identification by Ligand Competitive Saturation
Fragment-based drug discovery using NMR and x-ray crystallographic methods has proven utility but also non-trivial time, materials, and labor costs. Current computational fragment-based approaches circumvent these issues but suffer from limited representations of protein flexibility and solvation effects, leading to difficulties with rigorous ranking of fragment affinities. To overcome these li...
متن کاملPharmacophore Detection by Multiple Flexible Alignment of Drug-Like Molecules
A major goal in rational drug design is to develop new compounds with high affinity of binding toward a target receptor. Pharmacophore, which is the spatial configuration of essential features that enables a molecule to interact with a specific target receptor, is a very useful model for fulfilling this goal. We present a new highly efficient method, named PharmaGist, for detecting pharmacophor...
متن کاملEstimation of relative free energies of binding using pre-computed ensembles based on the single-step free energy perturbation and the site-identification by Ligand competitive saturation approaches
Accurate and rapid estimation of relative binding affinities of ligand-protein complexes is a requirement of computational methods for their effective use in rational ligand design. Of the approaches commonly used, free energy perturbation (FEP) methods are considered one of the most accurate, although they require significant computational resources. Accordingly, it is desirable to have altern...
متن کاملPatch cloning method for multiple site-directed and saturation mutagenesis
BACKGROUND Various DNA manipulation methods have been developed to prepare mutant genes for protein engineering. However, development of more efficient and convenient method is still demanded. Homologous DNA assembly methods, which do not depend on restriction enzymes, have been used as convenient tools for cloning and have been applied to site-directed mutagenesis recently. This study describe...
متن کاملLigand-based pharmacophore modeling to identify plant-derived acetylcholinesterase inhibitor natural compounds in Alzheimer’s disease
Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by decreased cognitive function in patients due to forming Aβ peptides and neurofibrillary tangles (NFT) in the brain. Therefore, the need to develop new treatments can reduce this risk. Acetylcholinesterase is one of the targets used in the design of new drugs for the treatment of AD. The researchers obtain new i...
