Drug Promiscuity in PDB: Protein Binding Site Similarity Is Key
Drug repositioning applies established drugs to new disease indications with increasing success. A pre-requisite for drug repurposing is drug promiscuity (polypharmacology) - a drug's ability to bind to several targets. There is a long standing debate on the reasons for drug promiscuity. Based on large compound screens, hydrophobicity and molecular weight have been suggested as key reasons. How...
متن کاملPredicting GPCR Promiscuity Using Binding Site Features
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) represent a large family of signaling proteins that includes many therapeutic targets. GPCR ligands include odorants, tastants, and neurotransmitters and vary in size and properties. Dramatic chemical diversity may occur even among ligands of the same receptor. Our goal is to unravel the structural and chemical features that determine GPCRs' promiscuity towar...
متن کاملDoGSiteScorer: a web server for automatic binding site prediction, analysis and druggability assessment
MOTIVATION Many drug discovery projects fail because the underlying target is finally found to be undruggable. Progress in structure elucidation of proteins now opens up a route to automatic structure-based target assessment. DoGSiteScorer is a newly developed automatic tool combining pocket prediction, characterization and druggability estimation and is now available through a web server. AV...
متن کاملThe carbohydrate-binding promiscuity of Euonymus europaeus lectin is predicted to involve a single binding site.
Euonymus europaeus lectin (EEL) is a carbohydrate-binding protein derived from the fruit of the European spindle tree. EEL was first identified for its erythrocyte agglutinating properties and specificity for B and H blood groups. However, a detailed molecular picture of the structural basis of carbohydrate recognition by EEL remains to be developed. In this study, we performed fluorescence tit...
متن کاملDruggability of methyl-lysine binding sites
Structural modules that specifically recognize--or read--methylated or acetylated lysine residues on histone peptides are important components of chromatin-mediated signaling and epigenetic regulation of gene expression. Deregulation of epigenetic mechanisms is associated with disease conditions, and antagonists of acetyl-lysine binding bromodomains are efficacious in animal models of cancer an...
