ABSTRACT: Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) study on the piperidone-grafted mono- and bis-spirooxindole-hexahydropyrrolizines as potent butyrylcholinestrase (BuChE) inhibitors were carried out using statistical methods, molecular dynamics and molecular docking simulation. QSAR methodologies, including classification and regression tree (CART), multiple linear regression (MLR),...

in this work, quantitative structure-property relationship (qspr) approaches were used to predict the redox potential of 42 phenolic antioxidants. the structures of all compounds optimized by the am1 semi-empirical method and then a large number of molecular descriptors were calculated for each compound in the data set. subsequently, stepwise multilinear regression was applied to select the mos...

prpc conversion to prpsc isoform is the main known cause for prion diseases including crutzfeldt-jakob, gerstmann-sträussler-sheinker syndrome and fatal familial insomnia in human. the precise mechanism underling this conversion is yet to be well understood. in the present work,  using the coordinate file of prpc (available on the protein data bank) as a starting structure, separate molecular d...

the determination of gyration radius is a strong research for configuration of a macromolecule. italso reflects molecular compactness shape. in this work, to characterize the behavior of theprotein, we observe quantities such as the radius of gyration and the average energy. we studiedthe changes of these factors as a function of temperature for acetylcholine receptor protein in gasphase with n...

the urgent need of neuraminidase inhibitors (ni) has provided an impetus for understanding the structure requisite at molecular level. our search for selective inhibitors of neuraminidase has led to the identification of pharmacophoric requirements at various positions around acyl thiourea pharmacophore. the main objective of present study is to develop selective ni, with least toxicity and dru...

predictive quantitative structure–activity relationship was performed on the novel 4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline and 4-oxo-4h-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidine derivatives to explore relationship between the structure of synthesized compounds and their anti-hiv-1 activities. in this way, the suitable set of the molecular descriptors was calculated and the important descriptors using the variable selections ...

molecular understanding of three-dimensional (3d) peptide: mhc models require both basic knowledge of computational modeling and skilled visual perception, which are not possessed by all students. the present model aims to simulate mhc molecular structure with the hands and make a profound impression on the students.
