I think the best and most complete example of a protein complex with many ligands/cofactors is the PSII complex, you can find all the details of its parametrization here: The distances between Na, Na +, and the GR surface were calculated to be 2.247 and 2.288 Å, respectively Na is slightly closer to the surface than Na +. We've regularly seen cofactors diffuse out of their binding pocket due to the CG nature of the complex. The Na-surface distance, Na-GR binding energy, and NPA-determined atomic charge of Na are listed in Table 1 together with those of Na +, Li, and Li +. If you have managed both, you might have to connect your ligand to your protein via restraints or bonds if it doesn't stay there by itself. If your ligand is really 352856 Dalton, I wouldn't say it's small, that's a massive molecule! If you mean 352.856 Da I guess you're fine, just follow the tutorial. Parametrizing the ligand can be done using the tutorialĬ/index.php/tutorials-general.ng-new-molecule-gmx5 Parametrization of the protein can be done using the martinize.py script, probably with an elastic network. The results suggest that 1 targets the ATP binding pocket.Parametrizing a protein with a ligand is much the same as the two separate. To clarify the molecular basis of the inhibitory action of 1, molecular docking studies were carried out. It was found that the compound decreased the number of viable cells in both estrogen receptor-positive MCF-7 and estrogen receptor-negative MDA-MB-231breast cancer cells, with IC50 values of 146 ± 2 and 132 ± 2 μM, respectively.


The method is closely related to the QMOD approach, substituting a learned scoring field for a pocket constructed of molecular fragments.

Simulations were performed using AMBER14 and AMBER16 ( 73 ) codes and trajectory analysis was performed with the development version of CPPTRAJ (4.12.2 GitHub) ( 74, 75 ). The preliminary cytotoxic effect of 4-ethoxycarbonylmethyl-1-(piperidin-4-ylcarbonyl)-thiosemicarbazide hydrochloride (1)-a potent topoisomerase II inhibitor-was measured using a MTT assay. /rebates/2farticle2f10.1007252Fs1112-4&.com252farticle252f10. We introduce the QuanSA method for inducing physically meaningful field-based models of ligand binding pockets based on structure-activity data alone. Quantum mechanics calculations and ethidium molecule set-up was performed by the 09.D01 version of Gaussian 16 C.01 revision and Gaussview (Gaussian Inc). In this approach, the 3D shape of the compounds in the VS library is compared to the 3D shape of known active compounds, which are used as a reference. Siwek, Agata Stączek, Paweł Wujec, Monika Bielawski, Krzysztof Bielawska, Anna Paneth, Piotr The basis of 3D-shape similarity lies in the fact that two molecules with a similar shape are likely to fit in the same binding pocket and thereby exhibit similar biological activity. Cytotoxic effect and molecular docking of 4-ethoxycarbonylmethyl-1-(piperidin-4-ylcarbonyl)-thiosemicarbazide-a novel topoisomerase II inhibitor Cytotoxic effect and molecular docking of.
