TRAPP webserver: predicting protein binding site flexibility and detecting transient binding pockets
The TRAnsient Pockets in Proteins (TRAPP) webserver provides an automated workflow that allows users to explore the dynamics of a protein binding site and to detect pockets or sub-pockets that may transiently open due to protein internal motion. These transient or cryptic sub-pockets may be of interest in the design and optimization of small molecular inhibitors for a protein target of interest...
متن کاملHot Spots and Transient Pockets: Predicting the Determinants of Small-Molecule Binding to a Protein-Protein Interface
Protein-protein interfaces are considered difficult targets for small-molecule protein-protein interaction modulators (PPIMs ). Here, we present for the first time a computational strategy that simultaneously considers aspects of energetics and plasticity in the context of PPIM binding to a protein interface. The strategy aims at identifying the determinants of small-molecule binding, hot spots...
متن کاملDetecting similar binding pockets to enable systems polypharmacology
In the era of systems biology, multi-target pharmacological strategies hold promise for tackling disease-related networks. In this regard, drug promiscuity may be leveraged to interfere with multiple receptors: the so-called polypharmacology of drugs can be anticipated by analyzing the similarity of binding sites across the proteome. Here, we perform a pairwise comparison of 90,000 putative bin...
متن کاملAnatomy of protein pockets and cavities: measurement of binding site geometry and implications for ligand design.
Identification and size characterization of surface pockets and occluded cavities are initial steps in protein structure-based ligand design. A new program, CAST, for automatically locating and measuring protein pockets and cavities, is based on precise computational geometry methods, including alpha shape and discrete flow theory. CAST identifies and measures pockets and pocket mouth openings,...
متن کاملPredicting Protein-Fragment Binding
Understanding the local structure surrounding the site of a protein-drug interaction can provide important insights into the mechanism of the drug and can help inform drug design and repurposing1. While structural information exists for a subset of protein-ligand interactions, it does not cover the space of all experimentally known interactions. As a result, the sites on proteins to which drugs...
