An Evolutionary Approach for Molecular Docking
We have developed an evolutionary approach for the flexible docking that is now an important component of a rational drug design. This automatic docking tool, referred to as the GEMDOCK (Generic Evolutionary Method for DOCKing molecules), combines both global and local search strategies search mechanisms. GEMDOCK used a simple scoring function to recognize compounds by minimizing the energy of ...
متن کاملHigh throughput docking for library design and library prioritization.
The prioritization of the screening of combinatorial libraries is an extremely important task for the rapid identification of tight binding ligands and ultimately pharmaceutical compounds. When structural information for the target is available, molecular docking is an approach that can be used for prioritization. Here, we present the initial validation of a new rapid approach to molecular dock...
متن کاملLibrary screening by fragment-based docking.
We review our computational tools for high-throughput screening by fragment-based docking of large collections of small molecules. Applications to six different enzymes, four proteases, and two protein kinases, are presented. Remarkably, several low-micromolar inhibitors were discovered in each of the high-throughput docking campaigns. Probable reasons for the lack of submicromolar inhibitors a...
متن کاملThe effect of podophyllotoxin as an inducer of apoptosis using molecular docking method
Background and aim: Podophyllotoxin is used as one of the main treatments for genital warts. It is a precursor of etoposide and teniposide, which is used in the treatment of various cancers. Despite a large number of cancer studies, the exact mechanism of podophyllotoxin remains unknown. Chemotherapy drugs reduce cancer cells by inducing apoptosis. The regulation of the apoptotic pathway has be...
متن کاملSynthesis novel bis-Coumarin derivatives as potential acetylcholinestrase inhibitors: An in vitro, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulations study
Alzheimer's disease is an irreversible and progressive brain disorder that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills and ultimately the ability to do the simplest things and can lead to death. Cholinesterases (ChEs) play an important role in controlling cholinergic transmission, and subsequently, by inhibiting CHEs, acetylcholine levels in the brain are elevated. Coumarins have been shown to e...
