Elucidating HBV-RT Inhibition Mechanisms

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To gain insights into the atomic details of the inhibitory mechanism of ETV and CdFA, we built initial molecular models of the ternary complexes of HBV-RTWT and RT containing three amino acid substitutions, with primer-templates and in complex with ETV-triphosphates (TP) using homology modeling, semi-empirical quantum chemical methods and molecular dynamics as previously described (Takamatsu et al., 2015 (link)). Structural manipulations to generate CdFA-TP as well as to generate different mutated RT residues were performed using Maestro version 10.7.015 (Schrödinger, LLC, New York). Correct bond orders of the residues, including zero-order bonds from the Mg2+ to the phosphate groups were assigned, and the termini were capped. Restrained minimization using OPLS3 force field was performed. A cut-off distance of 3.0 Å between a polar hydrogen and an oxygen or nitrogen atom, a minimum donor angle of 60° between D-H-A and a minimum acceptor angle of 90° between H-A-B was used to define the presence of hydrogen bonds (D, A, B are donor, acceptor, and atom connected to acceptor, respectively). Connolly molecular surfaces for the inhibitors and selected RT residues from the active site were generated using a water sphere with a radius of 1.4Å as a probe. Structural figures were generated using Maestro version 10.7.015 (Schrödinger, LLC, New York).

Schrodinger’s software is used (Schrödinger Release:
Maestro, version 10.5, Schrödinger, LLC, NY 2016-1, USA). This

Binding Site Identification for Allosteric Inhibitors

To find out the allosteric site for non-competitive and uncompetitive inhibitors, site recognition software SiteMap 3.7 [49 (link), 50 ] Maestro version 10.5 from Schrödinger was run on crystal structure to identify the top 5 ranked potential ligand-binding pockets.
The grid box with dimensions of 15Ǻ x 15Ǻ x 15Ǻ was defined to confine the mass of centre of each docked ligand. Extra precision (XP) mode of Glide based on OPLS-2005 force field was run for rigid receptor docking protocol [51 –54 (link)]. Molecular mechanics-generalized Born surface area (MM-GBSA) method in Prime was used for rescoring the docked pose of ligand [55 ]. These poses were taken as inputs for the energy minimization of the protein–ligand complexes (Ecomplex), the free protein (Ereceptor), and the free ligands (Eligand). The binding free energy ΔGbind was determined according to the following equation:
ΔGbind = E complex minimized-E ligand minimized -E receptor minimized

Structural Modeling of HIV-1 RT Complexes

Crystal structure of the ternary complexes of HIV-1 RTs with primer-templates (pt) and EFdA-triphosphates (EFdA-TP) reported by Salie etal. (PDB [RRID: SCR_012820] ID: 5J2M) was used as the starting structure (Salie et al., 2016 (link)). Correct bond orders of the residues, including zero-order bonds from the Mg2+ to the phosphate groups were assigned, and the termini were capped. A restrained minimization was performed (5J2Mprep). All subsequent minimizations were carried out from the 5J2Mprep structure. MAdA-TP, FMAdA-TP and EtAdA-TP-were built by appropriate modifications to EFdA in 5J2Mprep, and the structures were minimized to obtain respective wild-type complexes. M184 residue was mutated to valine and minimized to obtain respective HIV-1 RTM184V complexes. Maestro version 10.7.015 (Schrodinger, LLC. New York, NY) was used for molecular model building, visualization, analysis, and figure generation. The OPLS3 forcefield, as implemented in Maestro was used for all structure minimizations.

Molecular Docking for MAO Inhibitor Binding

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Molecular docking studies were carried to identify the binding affinities and interaction between the inhibitors and the target proteins (Mono Amine Oxidase) MAO-A and MAO-B using Glide software (Schrodinger Inc. U.S.A.- Maestro version 10.2). Grid-based Ligand Docking with Energetic (Glide) is one of the most accurate docking tool available for ligand–protein, protein–protein binding studies. Glide was found to produce least number of inaccurate poses and 85 % of Glides binding models had an RMSD of 1.4 A° or less from native co-crystallized structures.

Sortilin Receptor Virtual Screening

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Schrödinger’s Maestro program (version 9.3.5) was used as the primary graphical user interface and Maestro version 10.2 (Schrödinger, LLC) was used for ligand interaction diagramming. Virtual screening was performed on compounds contained in ChemBridge libraries (www.chembridge.com) that were prepared with Schrödinger’s LigPrep program (Schrödinger, LLC). The virtual screening method was performed using Schrödinger’s GLIDE software29 (link) on the sortilin crystal structure PDB ID: 4PO7 27. Compounds were docked on grids generated with Glide with cpd541 docked at a box determined by C-terminal NT and cpd984 docked at a box determined by the N-terminal fragment of NT. Grids were then adapted from alignment of PDB ID:6EHO to PDB ID: 4PO7 and docking performed for all grids using Glide XP setting with results exported into GraphPad Prism.

Schrödinger’s Maestro program (version 9.3.5) was used as the primary graphical user interface and Maestro version 10.2 (Schrödinger, LLC, New York, NY) was used for ligand interaction diagramming. Virtual screening was performed on compounds contained in ChemBridge libraries (www.chembridge.com) that were prepared with Schrödinger’s LigPrep program [14 ]. The virtual screening method was performed using Schrödinger’s GLIDE software [15 (link)] on the hsortilin crystal structure PDB ID: 4PO7 [16 (link)]. Compounds were docked using GLIDE at the site where the N-terminal fragment of NT is found in the crystal structure and cpd984 was chosen for biological screening based on its docking score. Schrödinger’s PRIME software was used to generate missing side chains and loops of this crystal structure predicting the NT peptide spanning the cavity of hsortilin [17 (link)]. LigPrep was used on the N-terminal peptide XLYEN-OH from this crystal structure and it was then docked back into its respective site on the crystal structure. This self-docking task was able to reproduce the X-ray pose for this ligand.

The FDA-approved drugs from different databases, like the Zinc,22 (link) Superdrug,23 (link) Sweetlead,24 (link) and ChemSpider25 (link) databases, were merged to remove redundancies. The 3D structures generated using the Maestro version 10.2 (Schrödinger)26 were optimized using the LigPrep module (v3.4, Schrödinger 2015-2).21 Partial atomic charges were ascribed, and possible ionization states were generated at a pH of 7.0 using the OPLS_2005 force field for optimization and production of low-energy conformers of the ligands.27 (link) Energy minimization was performed for every ligand till it reached a root mean square deviation (RMSD) cutoff of 0.01 Å. Following LigPrep, the compounds were converted into a phase dataset format for input for pharmacophore-based virtual screening.28,29 (link)

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
