A method to explore transition paths in macromolecules. Applications to hemoglobin and phosphoglycerate kinase

چکیده
A method to find low energy paths in macromolecules is described. It can be applied either to determine paths between two given energy minimum conformations, or to explore low energy paths departing from one energy minimized conformation. The principle of the method consists in carrying out energy minimizations or molecular dynamics simulations with root mean square distance constraints with respect to a reference structure. The method is illustrated by applications to N-methylalanyl-acetamide, hemoglobin and phosphoglycerate kinase.

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is the most common disorder of carbohydrate metabolism. Hyperglycemia is the common feature of DM. Hyperglycemia causes cardiovascular, renal, ocular, and peripheral nerve disorders in patients with diabetes. Glycemic regulation plays an essential role in controlling these complications. Thus, evaluation of the glycemic control status is crucial in the management of DM. H...

Although metal-based anticancer drugs have been recognized as the most effective agents over the organic compounds, non-selectivity and high toxic effects have limited their applications in a way that only three Pt-analogues have progressed into clinical use. These problems have spurred chemists to develop different strategies based on alternative targets. This work focuses on predicting potenc...
