Binding interaction between sorafenib and calf thymus DNA: spectroscopic methodology, viscosity measurement and molecular docking.

TL;DR: The binding interaction of sorafenib with calf thymus DNA (ct-DNA) was studied using UV-vis absorption spectroscopic, fluorescence emission spectroscopy, circular dichroism (CD), viscosity measurement and molecular docking methods and revealed that there was obvious binding interaction between sorafanib and ct-DNA.

Characterization of interaction of calf thymus DNA with gefitinib: spectroscopic methods and molecular docking.

TL;DR: The binding interaction of gefitinib with calf thymus DNA (ct-DNA) under the simulated physiological pH condition was studied employing UV absorption, fluorescence, circular dichroism (CD), viscosity measurement and molecular docking methods and it can be concluded that the main interaction forces between gef itinib and ct-DNA in the binding process were van der Waals force and hydrogen bonding interaction.

Binding properties of pendimethalin herbicide to DNA: multispectroscopic and molecular docking approaches.

TL;DR: Pendimethalin is a systemic herbicide widely used on rice, cotton, peas, wheat, potatoes, fruits, nuts and other residential and non-residential crops but concurrently exerts toxic effects on beneficial organisms like earthworms, aquatic invertebrates and other non-targeted animals including humans.

Unravelling the interaction of pirenzepine, a gastrointestinal disorder drug, with calf thymus DNA: An in vitro and molecular modelling study.

TL;DR: Thermodynamic parameters obtained from isothermal titration calorimetric studies suggest that the interaction of pirenzepine with Ct-DNA is enthalpically driven, and the role of electrostatic interaction in the binding of pirensepine to Ct- DNA cannot be precluded.

AutoDock Vina: Improving the speed and accuracy of docking with a new scoring function, efficient optimization, and multithreading

TL;DR: AutoDock Vina achieves an approximately two orders of magnitude speed‐up compared with the molecular docking software previously developed in the lab, while also significantly improving the accuracy of the binding mode predictions, judging by tests on the training set used in AutoDock 4 development.

Thermodynamic analysis of ion effects on the binding and conformational equilibria of proteins and nucleic acids: the roles of ion association or release, screening, and ion effects on water activity.

TL;DR: The purpose of this review is to examine the various effects of low- molecular-weight electrolytes on the associations and interactions of proteins and nucleic acids through general electrostatic effects rather than chemical effects of particular ions.

Molecular recognition of DNA by small molecules.

TL;DR: A pivotal path forward would be to understand in a predictive mechanistic sense how to create ensembles of weak bonds between synthetic ligands and biological macromolecules in water, the solvent of life.

Urea and Guanidine Hydrochloride Denaturation of Ribonuclease, Lysozyme, α-Chymotrypsin, and b-Lactoglobulin

TL;DR: Estimates of ΔGapp in the absence of denaturant suggest that several recent estimates of ΔGh2oapp are too high by 3 to 10 Cal per mole, and suggest that the mechanism of unfolding is the same in the presence of the two denaturants.
