چکیده
Along the long path from genomic data to a new drug, the knowledge of three-dimensional protein structure can be of significant help in several places. This paper points out such places, discusses the virtues of protein structure knowledge and reviews bioinformatics methods for gaining such knowledge on the protein structure.

In Silico Prediction and Docking of Tertiary Structure of Multifunctional Protein X of Hepatitis B Virus
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a universal health problem and may result into acute, fulminant, chronic hepatitis liver cirrhosis, or hepatocellular carcinoma. Sequence for protein X of HBV was retrieved from Uniprot database. ProtParam from ExPAsy server was used to investigate the physicochemical properties of the protein. Homology modeling was carried out using Phyre2 server, and refin...
متن کاملProtein Secondary Structure Prediction: a Literature Review with Focus on Machine Learning Approaches
DNA sequence, containing all genetic traits is not a functional entity. Instead, it transfers to protein sequences by transcription and translation processes. This protein sequence takes on a 3D structure later, which is a functional unit and can manage biological interactions using the information encoded in DNA. Every life process one can figure is undertaken by proteins with specific functio...
متن کاملIn Silico Design and Verification of LAMP-BDNF Chimeric Protein for Presentation of BDNF on the Surface of Exosomes for Drug Delivery Through Blood-Brain Barrier
Background and purpose: The mature form of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) binds to BDNF/NT-3 growth factors receptor (Trk-B). This binding leads to activation of Ras–MAPK pathway which is integrated with cell growth and proliferation. The BDNF deficiency is correlated with various diseases and affects aging and miscellaneous. In the present study we aimed to design a chimeric LAMP-BDN...
متن کاملIn vitro study of drug-protein interaction using electronic absorption, fluorescence, and circular dichroism spectroscopy
In the near future, design of a new generation of drugs targeting proteins will be required. Considering the complex bond between the drug and protein, the structure and stability of the target protein should be considered. So far, a series of in vitro investigations have been conducted with the aim of predicting drug-biological medium interactions. In these studies, use of spectroscopic method...
متن کاملIn silico Prediction and Docking of Tertiary Structure of LuxI, an Inducer Synthase of Vibrio fischeri
Background: LuxI is a component of the quorum sensing signaling pathway in Vibrio fischeri responsible for the inducer synthesis that is essential for bioluminescence. Methods: Homology modeling of LuxI was carried out using Phyre2 and refined with the GalaxyWEB server. Five models were generated and evaluated by ERRAT, ANOLEA, QMEAN6, and Procheck. Results: Five refined models were gener...

Densely functionalized 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-(3-hydroxy-4-etoxyphenyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole-1-carboxamide was synthesized in an expedient manner through specification and transamidation respectively, of ester-functionalized pyrazoles. This synthetic protocol allowed for three diversifying steps in which appendages on the pyrazole scaffold were adjusted to optimize inhibition of protein kina...
