The VSGB 2.0 model: A next generation energy model for high resolution protein structure modeling
TLDR
Given the precision and robustness of the calculations, it is believed that the VSGB 2.0 model is suitable to tackle “real” problems, such as biological function modeling and structure‐based drug discovery.Abstract:
A novel energy model (VSGB 2.0) for high resolution protein structure modeling is described, which features an optimized implicit solvent model as well as physics-based corrections for hydrogen bonding, π-π interactions, self-contact interactions and hydrophobic interactions. Parameters of the VSGB 2.0 model were fit to a crystallographic database of 2239 single side chain and 100 11–13 residue loop predictions. Combined with an advanced method of sampling and a robust algorithm for protonation state assignment, the VSGB 2.0 model was validated by predicting 115 super long loops up to 20 residues. Despite the dramatically increasing difficulty in reconstructing longer loops, a high accuracy was achieved: all of the lowest energy conformations have global backbone RMSDs better than 2.0 A from the native conformations. Average global backbone RMSDs of the predictions are 0.51, 0.63, 0.70, 0.62, 0.80, 1.41, and 1.59 A for 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, and 20 residue loop predictions, respectively. When these results are corrected for possible statistical bias as explained in the text, the average global backbone RMSDs are 0.61, 0.71, 0.86, 0.62, 1.06, 1.67, and 1.59 A. Given the precision and robustness of the calculations, we believe that the VSGB 2.0 model is suitable to tackle “real” problems, such as biological function modeling and structure-based drug discovery.read more

TL;DR: This study applied an integrative approach of virtual screening and molecular dynamic simulations and identified a potential lead compound 11 that interrupts DAPK1-NR2B interaction by competing with both ATP and substrate for their binding sites on D APK1.

TL;DR: The binding of abciximab does not appear to rely on the interaction with the αIIb residues and does not result in disruption of the fibrinogen-binding pocket, but it does compress and reduce the flexibility of the SDL residues.
