Interaction force diagrams: new insight into ligand-receptor binding
A method is described to calculate and visualize the interaction forces of ligand-receptor complexes. Starting from an X-ray crystallographic structure, a "thawing" procedure results in a force-field energy-minimized geometry which is close to the crystallographic starting point. By subtracting non-bonded interactions of the ligand with each amino acid residue and using the resulting force vect...
متن کاملDynamical contribution into enzyme catalytic efficiency
A realistic physical model for the so called rate promoting vibration (RPV) at enzyme action is constructed. The origin of the RPV is assumed to be an oscillating electric field produced by long-lived localized vibrational modes in protein dynamics, namely, by the so called discrete breather (DB) in secondary structure. The strength of interaction of the RPV with the reaction coordinate is eval...
متن کاملTransduction of chemical into electrical energy.
The paper recalls some fundamental notions, developed by Otto Meyerhof, which were used in the analysis of the transduction of chemical into mechanical energy during muscular contraction. These notions formed the basis of the approach to the analysis of the transduction of chemical into electrical energy, i.e., the very principle underlying nerve and muscle excitability and bioelectricity. Inst...
متن کاملModeling enzyme-ligand binding in drug discovery
Enzymes are one of the most important groups of drug targets, and identifying possible ligand-enzyme interactions is of major importance in many drug discovery processes. Novel computational methods have been developed that can apply the information from the increasing number of resolved and available ligand-enzyme complexes to model new unknown interactions and therefore contribute to answer o...
متن کاملDriving Force for Nucleation of Multi-Component Gas Hydrate
Based on driving force for crystallization of one-component gas hydrate, in this report an expression for the supersaturation for crystallization of multicomponent gas hydrate is derived. Expressions for the supersaturation are obtained in isothermal and isobaric regimes. The results obtained are applied to the crystallization of hydrates of mixtures of methane plus ethane and can apply to ...
