Structure-Based Detection of Orthosteric and Allosteric Pockets at Protein-Protein Interfaces

Protein-protein interfaces represent challenging but very promising targets to discover novel drugs with exquisite specificity profiles.

Synthesis, biological evaluation, and automated docking of constrained analogues of the opioid peptide H-Dmt-D-Ala-Phe-Gly-NH₂ using the 4- or 5-methyl substituted 4-amino-1,2,4,5-tetrahydro-2-benzazepin-3-one scaffold.

The Phe(3) residue of the N-terminal tetrapeptide of dermorphin (H-Dmt-d-Ala-Phe-Gly-NH(2)) was conformationally constrained using 4- or 5-methyl-substituted …

Customizing G Protein-coupled receptor models for structure-based virtual screening.

This review will focus on the construction, refinement, and validation of G Protein-coupled receptor models for the purpose of structure-based virtual screening.

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.

A rationally designed oligopeptide shows significant conformational changes upon binding to sulphate ions.

Oligopeptides that interact with oxoanions were developed by rational design methods.

Use of fluorescence polarization to monitor MHC-peptide interactions in solution.

We describe here fluorescence polarization-based methods to investigate class I MHC-peptide interactions in solution.

Fine specificity of antigen binding to two class I major histocompatibility proteins (B*2705 and B*2703) differing in a single amino acid residue.

Starting from the X-ray structure of a class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-encoded protein (HLA-B*2705), a naturally presented self-nonapeptide and two synthetic …
