A new method is presented that docks molecular fragments to a rigid protein receptor. It uses a probabilistic procedure based on statistical thermodynamic principles to place ligand atom triplets at the lowest energy sites. The probabilistic method ranks receptor binding modes so that the lowest energy ones are sampled first. This allows constraints to be introduced to limit the depth of the search leading to a computationally efficient method of sampling low energy conformational space. This is combined with energy minimization of the initial fragment placement to arrive at a low energy conformation for the molecular fragment. Two different search methods are tested involving (i) geometric hashing and (ii) pose clustering methods. Ten molecular fragments were docked that have commonly been used to test docking methods. The success rate was 8/10 and 10/10 for generating a close solution ranked first using the two different sampling procedures. In general, all five of the top ranked solutions reproduce the observed binding mode, which increases confidence in the predictions. A set of ten molecular fragments that have previously been identified as problematic were docked. Success was achieved in 3/10 and 4/10 using the two different methods. Again there is a high level of agreement between the two methods and again in the successful cases the top ranked solutions are correct whilst in the case of the failures none are. The geometric hashing and pose clustering methods are fast averaging 13 and 11 s per placement respectively using conservative parameters. The results are very encouraging and will facilitate the process of finding novel small molecule lead compounds by virtual screening of chemical databases. 相似文献

To determine whether quaternary ammonium (k21) binds to Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome–Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike protein via computational molecular docking simulations, the crystal structure of the SARS-CoV-2 spike receptor-binding domain complexed with ACE-2 (PDB ID: 6LZG) was downloaded from RCSB PD and prepared using Schrodinger 2019-4. The entry of SARS-CoV-2 inside humans is through lung tissues with a pH of 7.38–7.42. A two-dimensional structure of k-21 was drawn using the 2D-sketcher of Maestro 12.2 and trimmed of C18 alkyl chains from all four arms with the assumption that the core moiety k-21 was without C18. The immunogenic potential of k21/QA was conducted using the C-ImmSim server for a position-specific scoring matrix analyzing the human host immune system response. Therapeutic probability was shown using prediction models with negative and positive control drugs. Negative scores show that the binding of a quaternary ammonium compound with the spike protein’s binding site is favorable. The drug molecule has a large Root Mean Square Deviation fluctuation due to the less complex geometry of the drug molecule, which is suggestive of a profound impact on the regular geometry of a viral protein. There is high concentration of Immunoglobulin M/Immunoglobulin G, which is concomitant of virus reduction. The proposed drug formulation based on quaternary ammonium to characterize affinity to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein using simulation and computational immunological methods has shown promising findings. 相似文献

A new algorithm is proposed for approximation to the molecular surface. It starts with a triangular mesh built on an ellipsoid embracing the whole molecular surface. The triangular mesh is obtained from an icosahedron subdivision sphere with highly uniform vertex distribution, and the embracing surface is deflated stepwise to the best adherence of its triangles onto the surface of the molecule. The deflating direction of each vertex of a triangle is defined by the vector normal at this point to the previous deflated embracing surface. Our results show that the speed of the triangulation embracing ellipsoid method and the quality of the surface obtained by the method are faster and better than the method that starts with a quadrilateral mesh built from meridian and parallel representations on an embracing sphere to get the molecular surface. Furthermore, the surface obtained by the method can be used directly to approximate the molecular surface by spherical harmonic expansions. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

近来,科学家设计和合成了系列分子水平的陀螺。类似于儿童的玩具陀螺仪,这种分子陀螺由一个转子、一个定子框架和连接定子和转子的轴组成。定子框架通过自身的刚性结构为中心转子的转动提供足够的内在自由度,得以对内部的转子实施保护。并使得分子陀螺成为一个理想的分子转子。当转子上有偶极距时,则可能在外来电、磁、光的刺激下进行定向转动,成为分子马达。化学家们通过X射线晶体衍射技术、动态核磁技术、理论计算化学、热力学分析等方法表征了分子陀螺的各种特征,并积极探索其潜在的应用价值。本文着重介绍分子陀螺,以及超分子陀螺仪的发展历史以及研究进展。 相似文献

在适当的条件下分子开关将输入的信息转换为输出信号,利用这一特点,可在分子体系根据二进位布尔逻辑规则实现信号转换。目前,用化学体系进行基本的布尔逻辑功能执行 (PASS、YES、NOT、AND、NAND、OR、NOR、XNOR和INH)都已成为可能。在此基础上,逻辑门的整合与编程,以及更进一步的复杂分子运算开始受到人们的关注。迄今为止,以高灵敏性的荧光输出信号为主,人们在分子水平上设计实现了多种复杂的逻辑电路,包括组合逻辑电路和时序逻辑电路等,并开始涉及信息处理的安全平台设计。本文主要介绍了近年来利用分子荧光开关体系模拟数字逻辑电路过程中所取得的最新进展,对分子逻辑电路研究的热点和问题进行了展望。 相似文献

Plug and play: The mimicking of integrated circuits by using two individual monolayers (molecular chips) is shown. These monolayers can be individually addressed using identical inputs. Upon combination of their optical outputs, the input/output characteristics of a molecular encoder is obtained. Since the encoder functionality is only displayed when both chips are active, the device behaves according to a plug-and-play principle (In=input; see picture). 相似文献

A chirality switch in which the intrinsic chirality of a 4,4′‐bipyridine is combined with a metal‐ion‐induced switching principle is described. In the uncomplexed state the 4,4′‐bipyridine unit, which is linked to an S,S,S,S‐configured cyclic imidazole peptide, is P‐configured. The addition of zinc ions leads to a rotation around the C?C bond axis of the 4,4′‐bipyridine and the M isomer of the metal complex is formed. By addition of a stronger complexing agent the metal ions are removed and the switch returns to its initial position. The combination of the chirality switch with a second switching unit allows the construction of a molecular pushing motor, which is driven chemically and by light. 相似文献

Energetic molecular crystals are widely applied for military and civilian purposes, and molecular forcefields (FF) are indispensable for treating the microscopic issues therein. This article reviews the three types of molecular FFs that are applied widely for describing energetic crystals—classic FFs, consistent FFs, and reactive FFs (ReaxFF). The basic principle of each type of FF is briefed and compared, with the application introduced, predicting polymorph, morphology, thermodynamics, vibration spectra, thermal property, mechanics, and reactivity. Finally, the advantages and disadvantages of these FFs are summarized, and some directions of future development are suggested. 相似文献
