Reranking Docking Poses Using Molecular Simulations and Approximate Free Energy Methods
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fast and accurate identification of active compounds is essential for effective use of virtual screening workflows. Here, we have compared the ligand-ranking efficiency of the linear interaction energy (LIE) method against standard docking approaches. Using a trypsin set of 1549 compounds, we performed 12,250 molecular dynamics simulations. The LIE method proved effective but did not yield results significantly better than those obtained with docking codes. The entire database of simulations is released.

Significant Enhancement of Docking Sensitivity Using Implicit Ligand Sampling
The efficient and accurate quantification of protein-ligand interactions using computational methods is still a challenging task. Two factors strongly contribute to the failure of docking methods to predict free energies of binding accurately: the insufficient incorporation of protein flexibility coupled to ligand binding and the neglected dynamics of the protein-ligand complex in current scori...
متن کاملUsing docking and alchemical free energy approach to determine the binding mechanism of eEF2K inhibitors and prioritizing the compound synthesis
A-484954 is a known eEF2K inhibitor with submicromolar IC50 potency. However, the binding mechanism and the crystal structure of the kinase remains unknown. Here, we employ a homology eEF2K model, docking and alchemical free energy simulations to probe the binding mechanism of eEF2K, and in turn, guide the optimization of potential lead compounds. The inhibitor was docked into the ATP-binding s...

متن کاملA Fragment-Based Scoring Function to Re-rank ATP Docking Results
ATP is involved in numerous biochemical reactions in living cells interacting with different proteins. Molecular docking simulations provide considerable insight into the problem of molecular recognition of this substrate. To improve the selection of correct ATP poses among those generated by docking algorithms we propose a post-docking reranking criterion. The method is based on detailed analy...
متن کاملDesigning a new tetrapeptide to inhibit the BIR3 domain of the XIAP protein via molecular dynamics simulations
The XIAP protein is a member of apoptosis proteins family. The XIAP protein plays a central role in the inhibition of apoptosis and consists of three Baculoviral IAP Repeat domains. The BIR3 domain binds directly to the N-terminal of caspase-9 and therefore it inhibits apoptosis. N-terminal tetrapeptide region of SMAC protein can bind to BIR3, inhibit it and subsequently induce apoptosis. In th...
