A set of Xanthohumol derivatives were selected and molecular docking studies of these ‎compounds on thioredoxin reductase were conducted. Based on new structural patterns using in ‎silico-screening study, new potent lead compounds were designed. The results due to validated ‎docking protocols lead to find that Thr58, Gly57, Gly21, Asp334, Glu163, Ala130, IIe332, ‎Val44 and Gly132 are the main a...

Docking functions are believed to be the essential component of docking algorithms. Both physically and statistically based functions have been proposed, but there is no consensus about their relative performances. Here, we propose an evaluation approach based on exhaustive enumeration of all possible docking solutions obtained with a discretized description of a rigid docking process. We apply...

Nanoparticles (NPs) have been widely used in medical and therapeuticapplications. However, their albumin binding and their cytotoxicity assays havenot been well explored. In his study, the interaction of NiO NPs with human serumalbumin (HSA) was explored by circular dichroism (CD) study, molecular dockingand dynamic studies. Afterwards the cytotoxicity of NiO NPs against...

Breast cancer is a complicated disease that it is accompanied by different symptoms. Diagnosis of this disease is performed by various techniques. Using Radiopharmaceuticals is a new method to diagnose the said tumors. [18F]-FPTT is one of these nuclear medicines for detection of breast cancer. It seems that the binding of the title radiopharmaceutical to the progesterone receptor is...

the interactions between platinum complexes and human serum albumin (hsa) play crucial roles in the distribution, metabolism, and activity of platinum-based anticancer drugs. octahedral platinum (iv) complexes represent a significant class of anticancer agents that display molecular pharmacological properties different from cisplatin. in this study, the interaction between two pt(iv) complexes ...

htlv-1 and hiv-1 are two major causes for severe t-cell leukemia disease and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (aids). htlv-1 protease, a member of aspartic acid protease family, plays important roles in maturation during virus replication cycle. the impairment of these proteases results in uninfectious htlv-1virions.similar to hiv-1protease deliberate mutations that confer drug resistance on...

Bike sharing systems consist of a fleet of bikes placed in a network of docking stations. These bikes can then be rented and returned to any of the docking stations after usage. Predicting unrealized bike demand at locations currently without bike stations is important for effectively designing and expanding bike sharing systems. We predict pairwise bike demand for New York City’s Citi Bike sys...

UNLABELLED A protein-protein docking decoy set is built for the Dockground unbound benchmark set. The GRAMM-X docking scan was used to generate 100 non-native and at least one near-native match per complex for 61 complexes. The set is a publicly available resource for the development of scoring functions and knowledge-based potentials for protein docking methodologies. AVAILABILITY The decoys...

In recent years, the importance of considering induced fit effects in molecular docking calculations has been widely recognised in the molecular modelling community. While small-scale protein side-chain movements are now accounted for in many state-of-the-art docking strategies, the explicit modelling of large-scale protein motions such as loop movements in kinase domains is still a challenging...
