Accommodating protein flexibility in computational drug design.
The need to account for the dynamic behavior of a receptor has long been recognized as a complicating factor in computational drug design. The use of a single, rigid protein structure—usually from a high-quality X-ray crystal structure— still is the standard in most applications (Zheng and Kyle, 1997; Walters et al., 1998). The choice to use a single protein structure is usually based on speed....
متن کاملDesign and computational flexibility
This article discusses three levels of computer use—literacy, fluency and flexibility. Literacy is about the use of particular tools to satisfy well-defined tasks while fluency is a deeper form of knowledge that allows people to adapt to the uncertainties of computing and keep up with new, technological trends. Computational flexibility suggests the further capacity to invent software when exis...
متن کاملComputational alanine scanning of protein-protein interfaces.
Protein-protein interactions are key components of all signal transduction processes, so methods to alter these interactions promise to become important tools in dissecting function of connectivities in these networks. We have developed a fast computational approach for the prediction of energetically important amino acid residues in protein-protein interfaces (available at http://robetta.baker...
متن کاملAnchored Design of Protein-Protein Interfaces
BACKGROUND Few existing protein-protein interface design methods allow for extensive backbone rearrangements during the design process. There is also a dichotomy between redesign methods, which take advantage of the native interface, and de novo methods, which produce novel binders. METHODOLOGY Here, we propose a new method for designing novel protein reagents that combines advantages of rede...
متن کاملComputational analyses of the surface properties of protein–protein interfaces
Several potential applications of structural biology depend on discovering how one macromolecule might recognize a partner. Experiment remains the best way to answer this question, but computational tools can contribute where this fails. In such cases, structures may be studied to identify patches of exposed residues that have properties common to interaction surfaces and the locations of these...
