    摘要: A method implemented in the form of a computer simulation code for evaluating the free energy of binding between polypeptide amino acid residues and one or more molecular fragment types is presented. The basis of the method is a novel weighted Metropolis Monte Carlo approach for sampling the grand canonical ensemble. By making use of the properties of the grand canonical ensemble, the affinity of fragments for binding in the vicinity of each protein residue can be efficiently computed. The binding volume associated to each fragment-residue pair is estimated on the basis of a simple proximity criteria, and a useful affinity mapping of the protein surface can be obtained in this way. The analysis of such data for various fragment types provides valuable information to help identify protein binding sites, as well as to identify key fragments used for building potential drug leads.

    摘要: A method for characterizing a molecular fragment to collect data related to the fragment that allows its evaluation for drug discovery purposes. Starting with a two-dimensional model of the fragment, an initial three-dimensional model of the fragment is derived. Conformers of the fragment are identified. The conformers are then clustered, and a representative conformer is selected from each cluster. An ab initio or semi-empirical calculation and analysis is performed on one or more of the selected conformers. Each atom in the selected conformer is then assigned a type. The selected conformer is analyzed to determine if it is structurally symmetric. If so, the three-dimensional model of the fragment is adjusted to reflect the symmetry. The size of the fragment is calculated to allow geometric analysis of how the fragment physically fits with the protein and/or other fragments. The solvation energy of the fragment is calculated. The free energy curve for the fragment is calculated. Derivatization points for the fragment are then determined; a score is then assigned to each derivatization point, reflecting the ease or difficulty in bonding at the derivatization points. The fragment is then assigned a name and categorized. The fragment and its data derived in the above process can then be stored in a database.

    摘要: Methods and systems for determining the affinity between polypeptide amino acid residues and one or more molecular fragments, and for using the affinity values to aid in drug design including a computer simulation which calculates the interaction energy between a polypeptide and at least one molecular fragment. An affinity value is then assigned to at least one fragment and residue pair if the fragment is in the vicinity of the residue. Affinity values are used to rank fragments, build ligands and determine binding sites.
