Towards Ligand Docking Including Explicit Interface Water Molecules
Small molecule docking predicts the interaction of a small molecule ligand with a protein at atomic-detail accuracy including position and conformation the ligand but also conformational changes of the protein upon ligand binding. While successful in the majority of cases, docking algorithms including RosettaLigand fail in some cases to predict the correct protein/ligand complex structure. In t...
متن کاملMolecular Docking with Ligand Attached Water Molecules
A novel approach to incorporate water molecules in protein-ligand docking is proposed. In this method, the water molecules display the same flexibility during the docking simulation as the ligand. The method solvates the ligand with the maximum number of water molecules, and these are then retained or displaced depending on energy contributions during the docking simulation. Instead of being a ...
متن کاملModeling water molecules in protein-ligand docking using GOLD.
We implemented a novel approach to score water mediation and displacement in the protein-ligand docking program GOLD. The method allows water molecules to switch on and off and to rotate around their three principal axes. A constant penalty, sigma(p), representing the loss of rigid-body entropy, is added for water molecules that are switched on, hence rewarding water displacement. We tested the...
متن کاملImproving protein-ligand docking with flexible interfacial water molecules using SWRosettaLigand.
Computational protein-ligand docking is of great importance in drug discovery and design. Conformational changes greatly affect the results of protein-ligand docking, especially when water molecules take part in mediating protein ligand interactions or when large conformational changes are observed in the receptor backbone interface. We have developed an improved protocol, SWRosettaLigand, base...
متن کاملEffect of explicit water molecules on ligand-binding affinities calculated with the MM/GBSA approach.
We tested different approaches to including the effect of binding-site water molecules for ligand-binding affinities within the MM/GBSA approach (molecular mechanics combined with generalised Born and surface-area solvation). As a test case, we studied the binding of nine phenol analogues to ferritin. The effect of water molecules mediating the interaction between the receptor and the ligand ca...
