Aims and Objectives
• Understand the nature of drugs• Know the steps in rational drug design• Understand forms of docking• Using docking for virtual screening• Describe principles of de novo drug design
![Page 3: Docking and Drug Design - Bioinf · Docking and Drug Design ... or designing a specific ligand(s) • Docking ... GRID uses molecular mechanics potential to find interaction sites](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022514/5af5e02e7f8b9a8d1c8e2bc6/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
• Ligands that bind to a specific protein
• Either increase its activity (an agonist)or decrease/block its activity (an antagonist)
• Many problems…solubility, stability, selectivity
• Most drugs are not very selective…side effects
• Rational drug design…exploit structure of the protein and its natural ligands
What is a drug?

Steps in drug design
![Page 5: Docking and Drug Design - Bioinf · Docking and Drug Design ... or designing a specific ligand(s) • Docking ... GRID uses molecular mechanics potential to find interaction sites](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022514/5af5e02e7f8b9a8d1c8e2bc6/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Two types of interactions:
• (1) Protein protein/peptide/DNA usually relatively flat on the surface
• (2) Protein smallligand usually clefts/pockets
Defining the pocket

Docking can be between...
• Protein / small ligand• Protein / peptide• Protein / protein• Protein / nucleotide
![Page 15: Docking and Drug Design - Bioinf · Docking and Drug Design ... or designing a specific ligand(s) • Docking ... GRID uses molecular mechanics potential to find interaction sites](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022514/5af5e02e7f8b9a8d1c8e2bc6/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Both molecules are flexible:• Hundreds of degrees of freedom
• Astronomical number of possible conformations
Difficulties in docking
Protein / ligand• Often treat protein as rigid

Ligand Matching
• Match sphere centres against ligand atoms• Find possible ligand orientations• Often >10,000 orientations possible
Find the transformation (rotation + translation) to maximize sphere matching
DOCK

Each orientation is scored
Dock provides 3 scoring schemes:
• Shape scoring
• Electrostatic scoring uses DELPHI to calculate electrostatic potential
• Forcefield scoring uses the AMBER potential
Scoring docked models
![Page 23: Docking and Drug Design - Bioinf · Docking and Drug Design ... or designing a specific ligand(s) • Docking ... GRID uses molecular mechanics potential to find interaction sites](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022514/5af5e02e7f8b9a8d1c8e2bc6/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Shape complementarity is key!
Protein/ligand surfaces are complementary a simple geometric descriptor
Evaluation differs between methods
two basic approaches:
• use surface curvature or surface areas (based on Connolly surface)
• gridbased evaluation of surface packing
Scoring docked models

1.Best binding site is not always lowest energy
2.True binding site often has an energy barrier around the site
1.Need more energy to leave the true site than other potential sites.
