Evaluation of Sox2 binding affinities for distinct DNA patterns using steered molecular dynamics simulation
Transcription factors (TFs) are gene expression regulators that bind to DNA in a sequence-specific manner and determine the functional characteristics of the gene. It is worthwhile to study the unique characteristics of such specific TF-binding pattern in DNA. Sox2 recognizes a 6- to 7-base pair consensus DNA sequence; the central four bases of the binding site are highly conserved, whereas the...
متن کاملHybrid Steered Molecular Dynamics Approach to Computing Absolute Binding Free Energy of Ligand–Protein Complexes: A Brute Force Approach That Is Fast and Accurate
Computing the free energy of binding a ligand to a protein is a difficult task of essential importance for which purpose various theoretical/computational approaches have been pursued. In this paper, we develop a hybrid steered molecular dynamics (hSMD) method capable of resolving one ligand–protein complex within a few wall-clock days with high enough accuracy to compare with the experimental ...
متن کاملSteered Molecular Dynamics
Steered molecular dynamics (SMD) induces unbinding of ligands and conformational changes in biomolecules on time scales accessible to molecular dynamics simulations. Time-dependent external forces are applied to a system, and the responses of the system are analyzed. SMD has already provided important qualitative insights into biologically relevant problems, as demonstrated here for application...
متن کاملToward quantitative estimates of binding affinities for protein-ligand systems involving large inhibitor compounds: A steered molecular dynamics simulation route
Understanding binding mechanisms between enzymes and potential inhibitors and quantifying protein-ligand affinities in terms of binding free energy is of primary importance in drug design studies. In this respect, several approaches based on molecular dynamics simulations, often combined with docking techniques, have been exploited to investigate the physicochemical properties of complexes of p...
متن کاملComparative Binding Affinities of Flavonoid Phytochemicals with Bovine Serum Albumin
Dietary flavonoids show beneficial effects in the prevention of chronic diseases. However, flavonoid bioavailability is poor, probably due to their interaction with serum albumins. In the current work, the binding interactions of eight related flavonoids, sharing a similar core structure, with bovine serum albumin (BSA) were investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy. The binding affinities of t...
