GOMoDo: A GPCRs Online Modeling and Docking Webserver
نویسندگان
چکیده
G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are a superfamily of cell signaling membrane proteins that include >750 members in the human genome alone. They are the largest family of drug targets. The vast diversity and relevance of GPCRs contrasts with the paucity of structures available: only 21 unique GPCR structures have been experimentally determined as of the beginning of 2013. User-friendly modeling and small molecule docking tools are thus in great demand. While both GPCR structural predictions and docking servers exist separately, with GOMoDo (GPCR Online Modeling and Docking), we provide a web server to seamlessly model GPCR structures and dock ligands to the models in a single consistent pipeline. GOMoDo can automatically perform template choice, homology modeling and either blind or information-driven docking by combining together proven, state of the art bioinformatic tools. The web server gives the user the possibility of guiding the whole procedure. The GOMoDo server is freely accessible at http://molsim.sci.univr.it/gomodo.

Protein structure-based molecular design using the computational techniques of protein structure prediction, ligand docking, and virtual screening is an integral part of drug discovery for limiting the application of the structure-based approach to target proteins such as G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). GPCRs play an important role in living organisms and are of major interest to the pharm...
متن کاملDiscovery of GPCR ligands for probing signal transduction pathways
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are seven integral transmembrane proteins that are the primary targets of almost 30% of approved drugs and continue to represent a major focus of pharmaceutical research. All of GPCR targeted medicines were discovered by classical medicinal chemistry approaches. After the first GPCR crystal structures were determined, the docking screens using these structure...
متن کاملPPCheck: A Webserver for the Quantitative Analysis of Protein–Protein Interfaces and Prediction of Residue Hotspots
BACKGROUND Modeling protein-protein interactions (PPIs) using docking algorithms is useful for understanding biomolecular interactions and mechanisms. Typically, a docking algorithm generates a large number of docking poses, and it is often challenging to select the best native-like pose. A further challenge is to recognize key residues, termed as hotspots, at protein-protein interfaces, which ...
متن کاملComparison of Wild Type and Mutated (mHuIFN-β 27-101) Interferon Binding to the IFNRA Receptor by Molecular Docking
Introduction: Interferon beta is one of the members of type I interferons. Creating R27T and V101F mutations is one of the important researches performed to improve function, decrease immunogenicity, increase expression and increase half-life of interferon beta. In this study, the effects of R27T and V101F mutations on interferon beta binding to interferon receptors were studied by molecular do...
متن کاملDINC 2.0: A New Protein-Peptide Docking Webserver Using an Incremental Approach.
Molecular docking is a standard computational approach to predict binding modes of protein-ligand complexes by exploring alternative orientations and conformations of the ligand (i.e., by exploring ligand flexibility). Docking tools are largely used for virtual screening of small drug-like molecules, but their accuracy and efficiency greatly decays for ligands with more than 10 flexible bonds. ...
