Recovering the true targets of specific ligands by virtual screening of the protein data bank

The Protein Data Bank (PDB) has been processed to extract a screening protein library (sc-PDB) of 2148 entries.

Comparative evaluation of eight docking tools for docking and virtual screening accuracy

Eight docking programs (DOCK, FLEXX, FRED, GLIDE, GOLD, SLIDE, SURFLEX, and QXP) that can be used for either single-ligand docking or database screening have been compared for …

Modeling and Mutagenesis of the Binding Site of Calhex 231, a Novel Negative Allosteric Modulator of the Extracellular Ca2+-sensing Receptor

A model of the Ca2+-sensing receptor (CaSR) seven transmembrane domains was constructed based on the crystal structure of bovine rhodopsin.

Identification of the Binding Sites of the SR49059 Nonpeptide Antagonist into the V1a Vasopressin Receptor Using Sulfydryl-reactive Ligands and Cysteine Mutants as Chemical Sensors

To identify the binding site of the human V1a vasopressin receptor for the selective nonpeptide antagonist SR49059, we have developed a site-directed irreversible labeling strategy …

Tahtaoui, C.

Protein-based virtual screening of chemical databases. II. Are homology models of g-protein coupled receptors suitable targets?

The aim of the current study is to investigate whether homology models of G-Protein-Coupled Receptors (GPCRs) that are based on bovine rhodopsin are reliable enough to be used for …

Molecular Mimicry of an HLA-B27-derived Ligand of Arthritis-linked Subtypes with Chlamydial Proteins

HLA-B27 is strongly associated with spondyloarthropathies, including ankylosing spondylitis and reactive arthritis.

Recovery of known T-cell epitopes by computational scanning of a viral genome.

A new computational method (EpiDock) is proposed for predicting peptide binding to class I MHC proteins, from the amino acid sequence of any protein of immunological interest.

Induced folding of the U2AF35 RRM upon binding to U2AF65

The human essential splicing factor U2AF (U2 auxiliary factor) consists of 35 and 65 kDa subunits which form a highly stable heterodimer in solution.
