TLDR
A tutorial to carry out docking simulations with MVD and how to perform a statistical analysis of the docking results with the program SAnDReS is described and the redocking simulation focused the cyclin-dependent kinase 2 in complex with a competitive inhibitor is described.Abstract:
Molegro Virtual Docker is a protein-ligand docking simulation program that allows us to carry out docking simulations in a fully integrated computational package. MVD has been successfully applied to hundreds of different proteins, with docking performance similar to other docking programs such as AutoDock4 and AutoDock Vina. The program MVD has four search algorithms and four native scoring functions. Considering that we may have water molecules or not in the docking simulations, we have a total of 32 docking protocols. The integration of the programs SAnDReS ( https://github.com/azevedolab/sandres ) and MVD opens the possibility to carry out a detailed statistical analysis of docking results, which adds to the native capabilities of the program MVD. In this chapter, we describe a tutorial to carry out docking simulations with MVD and how to perform a statistical analysis of the docking results with the program SAnDReS. To illustrate the integration of both programs, we describe the redocking simulation focused the cyclin-dependent kinase 2 in complex with a competitive inhibitor.read more

COVID-19: Rational discovery of the therapeutic potential of Melatonin as a SARS-CoV-2 main Protease Inhibitor.
Eduardo Lima Feitosa,Francisco Tiago dos Santos Silva Júnior,José Arimatéa de Oliveira Nery Neto,Luis Felipe Lima Matos,Matheus H De S Moura,Thiele Osvaldt Rosales,Guilherme Barroso Langoni de Freitas +6 more
TL;DR: Melatonin stood out due to its prominent immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory activities; it can reduce oxidative stress, defence cell mobility and efficiently combat the cytokine storm and sepsis, and definitely do not confirm antiviral activity, but can rather be used as a basis for further preclinical and clinical trials.

Anti-inflammatory, ulcerogenic and platelet activation evaluation of novel 1,4-diaryl-1,2,3-triazole neolignan-celecoxib hybrids
TL;DR: In this paper , the synthesis of novel neolignans-celecoxib hybrids and the evaluation of their biological activity were reported, and the analogs8-13(L13-L18) exhibited anti-inflammatory activity, inhibited glycoprotein expression (P-selectin) related to platelet activation, and were considered non- ulcerogenic in the animal model.

A simplex method for function minimization
John A. Nelder,R. Mead +1 more
TL;DR: A method is described for the minimization of a function of n variables, which depends on the comparison of function values at the (n 41) vertices of a general simplex, followed by the replacement of the vertex with the highest value by another point.

Differential Evolution – A Simple and Efficient Heuristic for Global Optimization over Continuous Spaces
Rainer Storn,Kenneth Price +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a new heuristic approach for minimizing possibly nonlinear and non-differentiable continuous space functions is presented, which requires few control variables, is robust, easy to use, and lends itself very well to parallel computation.

AutoDock Vina: Improving the speed and accuracy of docking with a new scoring function, efficient optimization, and multithreading
Oleg Trott,Arthur J. Olson +1 more
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.

AutoDock4 and AutoDockTools4: Automated docking with selective receptor flexibility
Garrett M. Morris,Ruth Huey,William Lindstrom,Michel F. Sanner,Richard K. Belew,David S. Goodsell,Arthur J. Olson +6 more
TL;DR: AutoDock4 incorporates limited flexibility in the receptor and its utility in analysis of covalently bound ligands is reported, using both a grid‐based docking method and a modification of the flexible sidechain technique.

Automated docking using a Lamarckian genetic algorithm and an empirical binding free energy function
Garrett M. Morris,David S. Goodsell,Robert Scott Halliday,Ruth Huey,William E. Hart,Richard K. Belew,Arthur J. Olson +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that both the traditional and Lamarckian genetic algorithms can handle ligands with more degrees of freedom than the simulated annealing method used in earlier versions of AUTODOCK, and that the Lamarckia genetic algorithm is the most efficient, reliable, and successful of the three.
