Abstract:
Protein-ligand interaction is an imperative subject in structure-based drug design and protein function prediction process. Molecular docking is a computational method which predicts the binding of a ligand molecule to the particular receptor. It predicts the binding pose, strength and binding affinity of the molecules using various scoring functions. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations are widely used in combination to predict the binding modes, binding affinities and stability of different protein-ligand systems. With advancements in algorithms and computational power, molec

Starting from eight crystal structures of this protein co-complexed with known binders and one apo form, we conducted an exhaustive molecular docking/molecular dynamics (MD) investigation. To balance accuracy and an affordable calculation time, the systems were simulated for 100 ns in explicit solvent. Moreover, one complex was simulated for 1 µs to assess the influence of simulation t

Abstract Summary The performance of docking calculations can be improved by tuning parameters for the system of interest, e.g. biasing the results towards the formation of relevant protein–ligand interactions, such as known ligand pharmacophore or interaction sites derived from cosolvent molecular dynamics. AutoDock Bias is a straightforward and easy to use script-based method that allows the introduction of different types of user-defined biases for fine-tuning AutoDock4 docking calculations.

Abstract:
Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) is a drug target in rheumatoid arthritis and several other auto-immune disorders. TNF-α binds with TNF receptors (TNFR), located on the surface of several immunological cells to exert its effect. Hence, the use of inhibitors that can hinder the complex formation of TNF-α/TNFR can be of medicinal significance. In this study, multiple chem-informatics approaches, including descriptor-based screening, 2D-similarity searching, and pharmacophore modelling were applied to screen new TNF-α inhibitors.

Therefore, we identified the interaction between NBD and p53 using STRING version 9.1 program.
