Chemical Structure Indices in In Silico Molecular Design
نویسندگان
چکیده
The chemical structure indices have a significant role in providing direction to the design of chemotherapeutic agents. These indices come from the experimental domain as well as through the computations. While the experimental properties of compounds have practical value, the indices from computational domain offer fast and economic inputs to simulations. This review article discusses various methods and issues involved in the generation of physicochemical, quantum chemical, graph theoretical, chirality indices, flexible descriptors, molecular fingerprints and 3D chemical space descriptors etc for in silico molecular design approaches. A futuristic perspective of structural indices in drug design is outlined.

متن کاملIn silico Analysis and Molecular Modeling of RNA Polymerase, Sigma S (RpoS) Protein in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1
Background: Sigma factors are proteins that regulate transcription in bacteria. Sigma factors can be activated in response to different environmental conditions. The rpoS (RNA polymerase, sigma S) gene encodes sigma-38 (σ38, or RpoS), a 37.8 kDa protein in Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) strains. RpoS is a central regulator of the general stress response and operates in both retroa...
