چکیده
Malfunctioning of synaptic vesicle in the absence of some essential regulatory proteins causes a significant decrease in the level of neurotransmitters like gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA) leading to epilepsy. In the present work, GABA receptor associated protein (GABARAP), being the major inhibitory neurotransmitter receptor from C. elegans, is investigated for its efficacy with various antiepileptic drugs. These drugs interact with the binding site of GABA receptor and regain the normal level of the inhibitory neurotransmitter, GABA. These inhibitors play a crucial role in controlling the expression of the neurotransmitter receptor at the postsynaptic membrane. Our results shows that out of the various drugs docked at the binding site, Vigabatrin and Pregablin came up with the highest score thereby proving them to be effective in the treatment of the neurological disorder.

متن کاملIn Silico Design and Verification of LAMP-BDNF Chimeric Protein for Presentation of BDNF on the Surface of Exosomes for Drug Delivery Through Blood-Brain Barrier
Background and purpose: The mature form of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) binds to BDNF/NT-3 growth factors receptor (Trk-B). This binding leads to activation of Ras–MAPK pathway which is integrated with cell growth and proliferation. The BDNF deficiency is correlated with various diseases and affects aging and miscellaneous. In the present study we aimed to design a chimeric LAMP-BDN...
متن کاملIn silico Study of Toll-Like Receptor 4 Binding Site of FimH from Uropathogenic Escherichia coli
Introduction : The innate immune system as the first line of defense against the pathogens recognizes pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) by Toll-Like Receptors (TLRs). Interaction of bacterial PAMPs by TLRs results in activation of innate and acquired immunity. FimH adhesin, a minor component of type 1 fimbriae encoded by Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is a PAMP of TLR4 tha...
متن کاملMolecular Docking and In Silico Study of Denileukin Diftitox: Comparison of Wild Type With C519S-Mutant
Background: Denileukin diftitox (trade name, Ontak) is the first recombinant immunotoxin (IM), in which the binding domain of diphtheria toxin has been replaced by the amino acid sequence of human interleukin-2 (DT389IL-2) using genetic engineering. Purity, stability, and structural property of the protein are critical factors for the scale-up production of this fusion protein. In this IM, loca...
متن کاملIn Silico Analysis of Sea Cucumber Bioactive Compounds as Anti-Breast Cancer Mechanism Using AutoDock Vina
In recent years, the potential of marine natural products as anticancer agents, specifically for breast cancer, has been examined. The sea cucumber (Holothuroidea: Echinodermata) is known to contain triterpene glycosides, which have shown anticancer or cytotoxic activity. In this research, molecular docking of selected sea cucumber bioactive compounds was conducted on five receptor targets that...
