Conserved positions for ribose recognition: importance of water bridging interactions among ATP, ADP and FAD-protein complexes.
Analysis of the spatial arrangement of protein and water atoms that form polar interactions with ribose has been performed for a structurally non-redundant dataset of ATP, ADP and FAD-protein complexes. The 26 ligand-protein structures were separated into two groups corresponding to the most populated furanose ring conformations (N and S-domains). Four conserved positions were found for S-domai...
متن کاملRole of bridging water molecules in GSK3β-inhibitor complexes: Insights from QM/MM, MD, and molecular docking studies
The role of water molecules is increasingly gaining interest in drug design, and several studies have highlighted their paramount contributions to the specificity and the affinity of ligand binding. In this study, we employ the two-layer ONIOM-based quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) calculations, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, and molecular docking studies to investigate the e...
متن کاملElectrochemical and Spectroscopic Studies of Interactions of Mn(III) Complexes with Nucleic Bases and Nucleosides
The complexes of Mn(OAc)3 and/or Mn(acac)3 with nucleic bases and nucleosides (adenine, guanine, xanthine, adenosine and guanosine) have been synthesized in nonaqueous solution. Polarographic and spectroscopic (IR and Visible) methods have been used to establish the active site(s) on the imidazole and pyrimidine rings in the nucleic bases and nucleosides for the intera...
متن کاملExplicit ion, implicit water solvation for molecular dynamics of nucleic acids and highly charged molecules
An explicit ion, implicit water solvent model for molecular dynamics was developed and tested with DNA and RNA simulations. The implicit water model uses the finite difference Poisson (FDP) model with the smooth permittivity method implemented in the OpenEye ZAP libraries. Explicit counter-ions, co-ions, and nucleic acid were treated with a Langevin dynamics molecular dynamics algorithm. Ion el...
متن کاملEnergy transfer in complexes of water-soluble quantum dots and chlorin e6 molecules in different environments
The photoexcitation energy transfer is found and investigated in complexes of CdSe/ZnS cationic quantum dots and chlorin e6 molecules formed by covalent bonding and electrostatic interaction in aqueous solution and in porous track membranes. The quantum dots and chlorin e6 molecules form stable complexes that exhibit Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) from quantum dots to chlorin e6 regar...
