X Abstract

Abstract: Efficient treatment of conformational changes during docking of drug-like ligands to receptor molecules is a major computational challenge. A new docking methodology has been developed that includes ligand flexibility and both global backbone flexibility and side chain flexibility of the protein receptor. Whereas side chain flexibility is based on a discrete rotamer approach, global backbone conformational changes are modeled by relaxation in a few precalculated soft collective degrees of freedom of the receptor. The method was applied to docking of several known cyclin dependent kinase 2 inhibitors to the unbound kinase structure and to cross-docking of inhibitors to several bound kinase structures. Significant improvement of ranking and deviation of predicted binding geometries from experiment was obtained compared to docking to a rigid receptor. The inclusion of only the soft collective degrees of freedom during docking resulted in improved docking performance at a very modest increase (doubling) of the computational demand.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
