abstract

because of participation in many aspects of human life, and due to oxidation-sensitive characteristics of dopamine (da) and arachidonoyl dopamine (aa-da), the necessity of biocompatible carrier to keep them against oxidation is of importance. in this work, we explored the putative binding sites of da and aa-da to -lactoglobulin (blg) as potent carrier. docking results identified the binding sites, involved residues and driving forces to the binding process of these ligands. the dissimilar binding site of aa-da in comparison with da has been designated by different values of gibbs free energy, biding constants and contact residues. molecular dynamics simulation outcomes confirmed that both compounds stayed in their predicted binding sites during the entire time of simulation with no major secondary and tertiary protein structural changes which pointed that blg might be considered as a suitable oxidation-protective carrier for these compounds.

Identification of RNA-binding sites in artemin based on docking energy landscapes and molecular dynamics simulation

There are questions concerning the functions of artemin, an abundant stress protein found in Artemiaduring embryo development. It has been reported that artemin binds RNA at high temperatures in vitro, suggesting an RNA protective role. In this study, we investigated the possibility of the presence of RNA-bindingsites and their structural properties in artemin, using docking energy ...

Molecular Dynamics and Molecular Docking Studies on the Interaction between Four Tetrahydroxy Derivatives of Polyphenyls and Beta Amyloid

Interactions of 3,3',4,4'-tetrahydroxybiphenyl (BPT) and three isomeric 3,3",4,4"-tetrahydroxyterphenyls (OTT, MTT, PTT) with Alzheimer’s amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) were studied by molecular dynamics simulation and molecular docking. Structural parameters such as Root-mean-square derivations (RMSD), radial distribution function (RDF), helix percentage and other physical parameters were obtained. Th...

Molecular dynamics simulation and docking studies on the binding properties of several anticancer drugs to human serum albumin

Disposition and transportation of anticancer drugs by human serum albumin (HSA) affects their bioavailability, distribution and elimination. In this study, the interaction of a set of anticancer drugs with HSA was investigated by molecular dynamics and molecular docking simulations. The drugs' activities were analyzed according to their docking scores, binding sites and structural descriptors. ...

Interaction of β-Lactoglobulin with Resveratrol: Molecular Docking and Molecular Dynamics Simulation Studies

Resveratrol (3,5,4′-trihydroxystilbene) (Fig. 1) was first isolated in 1940 as an ingredient of the roots of white hellebore (Veratrum grandiflorum O. Loes) and has since been found in about 70 plant species, including grapes, mulberries and peanuts.1 It can also be found in food products and beverages such as peanut butter, red wine and grape juice.2,3 It provides cardioprotection in red wine ...

Homology Modeling of Dopamine D2 and D3 Receptors: Molecular Dynamics Refinement and Docking Evaluation

Dopamine (DA) receptors, a class of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), have been targeted for drug development for the treatment of neurological, psychiatric and ocular disorders. The lack of structural information about GPCRs and their ligand complexes has prompted the development of homology models of these proteins aimed at structure-based drug design. Crystal structure of human dopamine D...
