MOLECULAR MECHANICS (MM3 AND MM4)

(A) MM3Bonds, angles and torsions are not

independent in molecules. They couple with one another. Cross terms between all contributions in a

force field should be considered, especially when calculating vibrational frequencies.

Most cross terms involve two internal coordinates such as stretch-stretch, bend-bend, stretch-bend, stretch torsion, etc.

Page 5: Software resources in drug design

MOLECULAR MECHANICS (MM3 AND MM4)

Some force fields (MM2, MM3) include cross terms involving three or more internal coordinates, for example stretch-stretch-bend.

Based on QM calculations Dinur and Hagler (1991) proposed the most important terms to be: stretch-stretch, stretch-bend, bend-bend, stretch-torsion and bend-bend-torsion.

Page 6: Software resources in drug design

Popular cross terms expressions

Ustr−str = 1 2 kab,bc(rab − rab,0)(rbc − rbc,0)

Ubend−bend = 1 2 kabc,dbe(θabc − θabc,0)(θdbe − θdbe,0)

Ustr−bend = 1 2 kab,abc(rab − rab,0)(θabc − θabc,0)

Ustr−tors = 1 2 kbc,abcd (rbc − rbc,0)(1 +

cos(nφ − ψ))

Page 7: Software resources in drug design

CROSS TERMS

Presence of cross terms can characterize force fields.

Class I - harmonic potential with no cross terms. Class II - includes cross terms and and harmonic

terms. Class II force fields aim at reproducing not only geometry but also vibrational frequencies.

Class III - accounts for electronegativity, polarizability or hyperconjugation.

By adding extra terms to a potential energy expression one obtains a more accurate force field. More parameters will better match the experimental data. Parameterization of more parameters is more complicated and time consuming.

MOLECULAR MECHANICS (MM3 AND MM4)

(B) MM4MM4 is the latest in the well-known series of

molecular mechanics programs developed by Prof. N. L. Allinger and co-workers at the University of Georgia.

The high quality geometries and energies generated by these applications have led to their widespread recognition as the industry standard for calculating small molecule structures.

MM4 continues this trend, offering increased accuracy in calculating molecular structures, performing conformational analyses, and computing spectroscopic and thermodynamic properties.

Page 9: Software resources in drug design

MOLECULAR MECHANICS (MM3 AND MM4)

Structures calculated by quantum mechanics differ from those measured experimentally because of the vibrational motions of the molecules. Newer methods have been developed in MM4 that permit a more accurate interconversion of these types of structures.

The enlarged parameter set available in MM4 extends its capabilities to more classes of small molecules encountered in pharmaceutical or agrochemical research programs.

MM4 can carry out calculations on coordination compounds, including square planar for four coordinate; trigonal bipyramid and square pyramid for five coordinate; and octahedral bipyramid for six coordinate compounds. Conjugated p-systems are analyzed by a Variable Electronegativity SelfConsistent Field (VESCF) calculation to determine bond orders and lengths both initially and throughout optimization of the surrounding structure.

Page 10: Software resources in drug design

MOLECULAR MECHANICS (MM3 AND MM4)

MM4's treatment of hydrogen bonding is improved through the use of special van der Waals distances and a directional character in the hydrogen bonding function that accurately accounts for its anisotropic nature. Other specialized intramolecular interactions, such as the anomeric and trans lone-pair (Bohlmann) effect are reproduced accurately.

MM4 considers not only charge-charge, charge-dipole, and dipole-dipole interactions, but also calculates dipole-induced dipoles. These are important in molecules containing many highly polar groups, such as peptides and polyols. Unlike other force fields, the MM4 charge distribution on each atom depends on the conformation since each conformation has different induced dipoles.

Huckel-MO-calculator

SHMO (Simple Hückel Molecular Orbital Calculator)SHMO is an interactive program to perform electronic structure

calculations within the "Simple Hückel Molecular Orbital" approximations. The theoretical basis for the method is described in "Orbital Interaction Theory of Organic Chemistry", Second Edition by Arvi Rauk (Wiley Interscience, 2001), Chapters 3 and 5. 

SHMO is designed as a teaching aid and replaces the earlier version distributed with the book. Besides performing conventional SHMO calculations, SHMO permits easy changes of orbital electronegativities (the Hückel coulomb integrals, alpha, hX) and intrinsic orbital interaction values (the Hückel resonance integrals, beta, kXY) to illustrate the effects of interacting orbital energies orbital, energy differences and overlaps on the resultant molecular orbital energies and polarizations. 

Page 12: Software resources in drug design

Huckel-MO-calculator

The first version of this program has been written entirely in the Java language by Richard Cannings. Some bug fixes and new options, and new display of the data and the molecular orbitals has been programmed by Hans-Ulrich Wagner. 

Orbitals are displayed as red/green or light grey/grey coloured circles. Empty oribtals can be displayed with white centers, half filled with yellow centers. This option can be switched using the button "Occup".

Orbital energies are displayed as "alpha + x beta" (the coulomb integral, alpha, and the resonance integral, beta, are both negative). 

Orbital selection is by clicking on the orbital energy display or step up/step down buttons. 

Page 13: Software resources in drug design

Huckel-MO-calculator

Heteroatoms, X, are incorporated as aX = alpha + hX beta, and bXY = kXY beta , where the default values of the parameters, hX and kXY, are taken from the publication of F. A. Van-Catledge, J. Org. Chem. 1980, 45, 4801-4802. 

Structural formula can be drawn in Hückel which serves as input to the calculation. From the structure formula, Hückel builds the matrices involved and performs the calculations. The resulting energy levels are presented in a level diagram, and a molecular orbital diagram shows the resulting molecular orbitals.

Page 14: Software resources in drug design

Huckel-MO-calculator

Advanced users will appreciate that Hückel provides access to all the results of the calculations involved. They may be readily output to the printer and/or copied to the Windows clipboard if desired. The number of atoms used in the calculations is virtually unlimited. The speed of the calculation will depend on the size of the molecule and on speed of your PC. With a 133 Mhz Pentium it takes about 45 seconds to calculate a molecule with 75 atoms. Hückel permits task switching during the calculations.

Page 15: Software resources in drug design

Huckel-MO-calculator

The atoms available in the structure formula editor are defined in a database. This database may be easily modified for custom applications. By allowing the definition of new atoms, the parameters involved in the Hückel calculations can be changed.

MOPAC

The name MOPAC should be understood to mean "Molecular Orbital PACkage".

The origin of the name is unique, and might be of general interest: The original program was written in Austin, Texas. One of the roads in Austin is unusual in that the Missouri-Pacific railway runs down the middle of the road. Since this railway was called the MO-PAC, when names for the program were being considered, MOPAC was an obvious contender.

Page 18: Software resources in drug design

MOPAC

MOPAC is a general-purpose semiempirical molecular orbital package for the study of solid state and molecular structures and reactions. 

The semiempirical Hamiltonians MNDO , AM1, PM3, PM6,RM1, MNDO-d , and PM7 are used in the electronic part of the calculation to obtain molecular orbitals, the heat of formation and its derivative with respect to molecular geometry.

Using these results MOPAC calculates the vibrational spectra, thermodynamic quantities, isotopic substitution effects and force constants for molecules, radicals, ions, and polymers.

For studying chemical reactions, a transition state location routine and two transition state optimizing routines are available. 

Page 19: Software resources in drug design

MOPAC

While MOPAC calls upon many concepts in quantum theory and thermodynamics and uses some fairly advanced mathematics, the user need not be familiar with these specialized topics.

MOPAC is written with the non-theoretician in mind. The input data are kept as simple as possible, so users can give their attention to the chemistry involved and not concern themselves with quantum and thermodynamic exotica.

The simplest description of how MOPAC works is that the user creates a data-file which describes a molecular system and specifies what kind of calculations and output are desired.

The user then commands MOPAC to carry out the calculation using that data-file. Finally, the user extracts the desired output on the system from the output files created by MOPAC.

GAUSSIAN

Gaussian 09 is the latest version of the Gaussian® series of electronic structure programs, used by chemists, chemical engineers, biochemists, physicists and other scientists worldwide.

Starting from the fundamental laws of quantum mechanics, Gaussian 09 predicts the energies, molecular structures, vibrational frequencies and molecular properties of molecules and reactions in a wide variety of chemical environments.

Gaussian 09’s models can be applied to both stable species and compounds which are difficult or impossible to observe experimentally (e.g., short-lived intermediates and transition structures).

Page 22: Software resources in drug design

GAUSSIAN

A) Comprehensive Investigations of Molecules and Reactions

With Gaussian 09, you can thoroughly investigate the chemical problems that interest you. For example, not only can you minimize molecular structures rapidly and reliably, you can also predict the structures of transition states, and verify that the located stationary points are in fact minima and transition states.

You can go on to compute the reaction path by following the intrinsic reaction coordinate (IRC) and determine which reactants and products are connected by a given transition structure. Once you have a complete picture of the potential energy surface, reaction energies and barriers can be accurately predicted.

Page 23: Software resources in drug design

GAUSSIAN

B) Predicting and Interpreting Spectra

Spectroscopy is a fundamental tool for investigating molecular structures and properties. However, observed spectra are often difficult to interpret. The results of electronic structure calculations can be vital to this process. For example, predicted spectra can be examined in order to determine peak assignments in observed spectra as well as comparing peak locations and intensities with experimental data. Gaussian 09 can also compute relevant spectroscopic constants and related molecular properties with excellent accuracy.

Gaussian 09 can predict a variety of spectra including IR and Raman, NMR, UV/Visible, Vibrational circular dichroism (VCD), Raman optical activity (ROA), Electronic circular dichroism (ECD), Optical rotary dispersion (ORD), Hyperfine spectra (microwave spectroscopy), Franck-Condon, Herzberg-Teller and Franck-Condon/Herzberg-Teller analyses.

PDB

The Protein Data Bank (PDB) is a repository for the three-dimensional structural data of large biological molecules, such as proteins and nucleic acids.

The data, typically obtained by X-ray crystallography or NMR spectroscopy and submitted by biologists and biochemists from around the world, are freely accessible on the Internet via the websites of its member organisations (PDBe, PDBj, and RCSHB).

The PDB is overseen by an organization called theWorldwide Protein Data Bank, wwPDB.

Page 29: Software resources in drug design

PDB

The PDB is a key resource in areas of structural biology, such as structural genomics.

Most major scientific journals, and some funding agencies, now require scientists to submit their structure data to the PDB. If the contents of the PDB are thought of as primary data, then there are hundreds of derived (i.e., secondary) databases that categorize the data differently. For example, both SCOP and CATH categorize structures according to type of structure and assumed evolutionary relations; GO categorize structures based on genes.[4]

Page 30: Software resources in drug design

PDB

Most structures are determined by X-ray diffraction, but about 10% of structures are now determined by protein NMR.

When using X-ray diffraction, approximations of the coordinates of the atoms of the protein are obtained, whereas estimations of the distances between pairs of atoms of the protein are found through NMR experiments.

Therefore, the final conformation of the protein is obtained, in the latter case, by solving a distance geometry problem. A few proteins are determined by cryo-electron microscopy.

SYBYL

It is a tool developed by Certara(Tripos) for molecular modeling and simulation.

SYBYL-X’s science offers unique, competitive advantages in a number of key areas vital for today’s successful discovery research, which are summarized below:

• 3D QSAR: use the power of industry leading CoMFA in a new way to generate novel ideas for R-groups — predict the level of biological activity or potency based on structure-activity data, not just yes/no activity predictions

• Ligand-based virtual screening: search millions of compounds overnight — don’t miss hits because you only screened subsetted portions of your database

Page 33: Software resources in drug design

SYBYL

Cheminformatics: produce highly focused queries that avoid false positives using rich set of 3D queries; on-the fly conformational searching means you only store a single conformation of your molecules, keeping database size small and very transportable

• Docking: custom tailor and fine-tune docking to a particular receptor site using information like SAR or known poses to improve rank ordering of ligands

SAR and QSAR

Certara (then Tripos) was an early pioneer in QSAR  (in particular 3D QSAR), and continues to build on that tradition of scientific innovation with key QSAR techniques explicitly designed to advance Lead Optimization:

Comparative Molecular Field Analysis (CoMFA) was the first 3D QSAR method, and is an industry standard with literally thousands of literature publications demonstrating CoMFA’s utility for molecular discovery.  With CoMFA, researchers build statistical and graphical models that relate the chemical and biological properties of molecules to their 3D structures and the 3D steric and electrostatic properties. These models are then used to predict the properties or activity of novel compounds.

Hologram QSAR (HQSAR) is a novel 2D QSAR method, and uses counts of key molecular substructures and PLS to generate fragment-based structure-activity relationships.  Validation studies have shown that HQSAR has predictive capabilities comparable to those of much more complicated 3D-QSAR techniques.

Page 38: Software resources in drug design

SYBYL

With Topomer CoMFA, the next generation of CoMFA/3D QSAR, Certara is revolutionizing 3D QSAR all over again.   Building on the innovation originated in the traditional CoMFA method, Topomer CoMFA minimizes the preparation needed for 3D QSAR analysis.  These models can be created in minutes, and can easily be used by both QSAR experts and QSAR non-experts.   Because pose generation is automated with Topomer CoMFA, researchers can:

Easily generate models for multiple biological endpointsIdentify novel ideas for R-groups that are most likely to lead to

improvements in activity using virtual screening based on predictions from 3D QSAR models

Generate 100’s to 1000’s of predictive QSAR models for chemogenomic studies automatically by mining large databases of chemical and biological data

SYBYL

Ligand Based Virtual Screening and Shape Based Similarity and Alignment, Pharmacophore Searching

The SYBYL-X Suite includes a comprehensive set of tools for shape and pharmacophore based analysis and virtual screening:

Topomer Search is an exceptionally fast 3D ligand-based virtual screening tool that has been demonstrated to be effective for both lead hopping and scaffold hopping.

Topomer Search can search millions of structures overnight on a single processor, allowing you to screen very large collections of compounds and avoid the risk of missing important leads because of subsetting. Screen for whole molecules, side chains, or scaffolds using conformationally independent topomer similarity. 

Page 40: Software resources in drug design

SYBYL

Surflex-Sim performs rigorous, flexible 3D shape based virtual screening.  In addition, the molecular alignments and hypotheses of bioactive ligand conformations generated by Surflex-Sim stimulate 3-D ligand-based design.  Surflex-Sim's comprehensive shape comparison algorithms include the consideration of the molecules’ shape, H-bonding, and electrostatic properties.  Shape similarity, as computed by Surflex-Sim has been shown to be highly effective as means of rationalizing and predicting both on- and off-target pharmacological effects.

UNITY-3D is an industry standard with literally thousands of literature publications demonstrating successful lead discovery based on UNITY's conformationally flexible pharmacophore based searching.  UNITY's rich set of pharmacophore features enable highly specific queries to be constructed from a lead structure, a pharmacophore model, or a receptor active site. 

Page 41: Software resources in drug design

SYBYL

Galahad, GASP, and DiscoTech are pharmacophore hypothesis generation tools that deduce the spatial requirements for drug binding when a structure of the drug’s target isn’t known. The pharmacophore models that are generated are useful for virtual screening and for inspiring and testing new ideas to see how they match to a set of lead drug candidates

Page 42: Software resources in drug design

SYBYL

Structure Based Design

The SYBYL-X Suite includes : Surflex-Dock™ offers unparalleled enrichments in virtual

high-throughput screening and accurate prediction for ligand binding mode and conformation. 

Surflex-Dock has been extensively validated and favorably compared to all leading competing methods by independent researchers along with numerous studies by the application's author, Prof. Ajay N. Jain, Ph.D., a faculty member at the University of California San Francisco Cancer Research Institute. Its unique capabilities allow users to customize scoring functions, consider protein flexibility, multiple binding site detection and docking, and key fragment constraints and make Surflex-Dock a top choice for lead discovery, scaffold replacement, lead optimization and fragment based discovery.

SYBYL

Advanced Protein Modeling (APM) for protein homology modeling enables you to perform both homolog finding and comparative modeling through a streamlined interface.   APM finds more relevant homologs to start the modeling process because in takes advantage of environment-specific substitution tables, structure-dependent gap penalties, automated alignment method selection, and the highly annotated HOMSTRAD database.

Homologs are structurally aligned based using homology and local structural environment, and then structurally conserved regions are identified using backbone curvature and torsion in addition to C-alpha rmsd and homology. 

Loops (structurally variable regions) are then modeled by knowledge-based or ab initio approaches, and sidechains are added by enumerating rotamer combinations constrained by borrowing as much information from the parent homologs as possible.  A range of analysis tools are available to highlight potential problems with the structure and allow the user to iterate through the process and refine initial models.

Page 44: Software resources in drug design

SYBYL

MOLCAD exploits the power of the human eye by

creating graphical images that reveal the properties of molecules essential for molecular recognition.  MOLCAD calculates and displays the surfaces of both small molecule drugs and macromolecular targets and can identify channels and cavities that may be potential binding sites.  A broad range of properties can be mapped onto these surfaces to rationalize the properties of the binding site and ligand/receptor complementarity.

CHARMM force field

CHARMM (Chemistry at HARvard  Macromolecular Mechanics) is the name of a widely used set of force fields for molecular dynamics as well as the name for the molecular dynamics simulation and analysis package associated with them.

The CHARMM force fields for proteins include: united-atom (sometimes called "extended atom")

CHARMM19,all-atom CHARMM22 and its dihedral potential corrected variant CHARMM22/CMAP.

In the CHARMM22 protein force field, the atomic partial charges were derived from quantum chemical calculations of the interactions between model compounds and water. Furthermore, CHARMM22 is parametrized for the TIP3P explicit water model.

Nevertheless, it is frequently used with implicit solvents. In 2006, a special version of CHARMM22/CMAP was reparametrized for consistent use with implicit solvent GBSW.

Page 47: Software resources in drug design

CHARMM force field

For DNA, RNA, and lipids, CHARMM27 is used. Some force fields may be combined, for example CHARMM22 and CHARMM27 for the simulation of protein-DNA binding. Additionally, parameters for NAD+, sugars, fluorinated compounds, etc. may be downloaded.

These force field version numbers refer to the CHARMM version where they first appeared, but may of course be used with subsequent versions of the CHARMM executable program. Likewise, these force fields may be used within other molecular dynamics programs that support them.

Page 48: Software resources in drug design

CHARMM force field

In 2009, a general force field for drug-like molecules (CGenFF) was introduced. It "covers a wide range of chemical groups present in biomolecules and drug-like molecules, including a large number of heterocyclic scaffolds".

The general force field is designed to cover any combination of chemical groups. This inevitably comes with a decrease in accuracy for representing any particular subclass of molecules.

Users are repeatedly warned in Mackerell's website not to use the CGenFF parameters for molecules for which specialized force fields already exist (as mentioned above for proteins, nucleic acids, etc.).

MM+

Merck Molecular Force Field (MMFF) is a family of force fields developed by Merck Research Laboratories.

They are based on the MM3 force field. MMFF is not optimized for a single use (like either simulating proteins or small molecules), but tries to perform well for a wide range of organic chemistry calculations. The parameters in the force field have been derived from computational data.

The first published force field in the family is MMFF94.

Page 57: Software resources in drug design

MM+

Screening of tens of thousands of compounds based on pharamcophoric models or “interactions” with the binding site of a target molecule. Accordingly, parameters for a wide variety of chemicals are required.

Class I force fields have limited transferability, therefore are only parameterized for a limited number of chemical types and are of limited value for screening large numbers of compounds.

Class II force fields, with their greater transferability, allow for a large number of compounds to be treated, as required for database screening.

Page 58: Software resources in drug design

MM+

MMFF: A Class II force field designed to be a transferable force field for pharmaceutical compounds that accurately treats conformational energetics and nonbonded interactions. This would, ideally, produce a force field that was adequate for both gas phase and condensed phase calculations.

Transferability: Application of empirical force field parameters to molecules not explicitly included during the parameter optimization.

AMBER

AMBER (an acronym for Assisted Model Building with Energy Refinement) is a family of force fields for molecular dynamics of biomolecules originally developed by Peter Kollman's group at the University of California, San Francisco. 

AMBER is also the name for the molecular dynamics software package that simulates these force fields.

The term "AMBER force field" generally refers to the functional form used by the family of AMBER force fields. This form includes a number of parameters; each member of the family of AMBER force fields provides values for these parameters and has its own name.

Page 60: Software resources in drug design

AMBER Force Field Equation

Page 61: Software resources in drug design

AMBER

The meanings of right hand side terms are: First term (summing over bonds): represents the energy between

covalently bonded atoms. This harmonic (ideal spring) force is a good approximation near the equilibrium bond length, but becomes increasingly poor as atoms separate.

Second term (summing over angles): represents the energy due to the geometry of electron orbitals involved in covalent bonding.

Third term (summing over torsions): represents the energy for twisting a bond due to bond order (e.g. double bonds) and neighboring bonds or lone pairs of electrons. Note that a single bond may have more than one of these terms, such that the total torsional energy is expressed as a Fourier series.

Fourth term (double summation over  and ): represents the non-bonded energy between all atom pairs, which can be decomposed into van der Waals (first term of summation) and electrostatic (second term of summation) energies.

Page 62: Software resources in drug design

AMBER

To use the AMBER force field, it is necessary to have values for the parameters of the force field (e.g. force constants, equilibrium bond lengths and angles, charges). A fairly large number of these parameter sets exist, and are described in detail in the AMBER software user manual. Each parameter set has a name, and provides parameters for certain types of molecules.

Peptide, protein and nucleic acid parameters are provided by parameter sets with names beginning with "ff" and containing a two digit year number, for instance "ff99".

GAFF (General AMBER force field) provides parameters for small organic molecules to facilitate simulations of drugs and small molecule ligands in conjunction with biomolecules.

The GLYCAM force fields have been developed by Rob Woods for simulating carbohydrates.

Page 63: Software resources in drug design

AMBER

The AMBER software suite provides a set of programs for applying the AMBER forcefields to simulations of biomolecules. It is written in Fortran 90 and C with support for most major Unix-like systems and compilers. Development is conducted by a loose association of mostly academic labs. New versions are generally released in the spring of even numbered years; AMBER 10 was released in April 2008. The software is available under a site-license agreement, which includes full source, currently priced at US$400 for non-commercial and US$20,000 for commercial organizations.

FlexX

FlexX is a computer program for predicting protein-ligand interactions.

For a given protein and a ligand, FlexX predicts the geometry of the complex as well as an estimate for the strength of binding. In this first version of FlexX, the protein is assumed to be rigid.

Thus, the protein must be given in a conformation which is similar to the bound state. The docking algorithm in FlexX works without manual intervention. Nevertheless, in some cases additional information about the ligand or even the complex is known.

You can integrate this knowledge in the computations with FlexX by performing single steps manually.

Thus, FlexX is ideal for interactive work on protein-ligand complexes as well as for screening a larger set of ligands in order to find new leads for drug design.

In summary, FlexX can be useful in the following situation: You have a good three-dimensional model of the protein and you know the location of the active site. You have a set of ligands and you want to know whether and how each of them binds to your protein model.

Page 85: Software resources in drug design

FlexX

Major workflows with FlexX is: 1. Preparation of the binding site using the Receptor Intelligence of

the Receptor Preparation Wizard This includes selection of chains, receptor protonation, tautomers, etc.

2. Optional: Definition of a receptor-based pharmacophore 3. Read in of a ligand “Docking Library” (one or more ligands) 4. Docking including possibly altering of parameters and further

cycles of docking The character of this workflow is driven by few ligands and/or a

preparational stage. It can easily and comfortably be accomplished with LeadIT .

A Receptor, once prepared with the Wizard, can be saved and read into the commandline mode of FlexX.

Precondition: You must have one or more ligands in a low-energy conformation ready to dock. FlexX does not minimize ligands before docking. The docking process deals with the translational, torsional, and ring conformation degrees of freedom only.

Page 86: Software resources in drug design

FlexX

Scientifically, FlexX is currently further developed at three locations, at BioSolveIT GmbH (Sankt Augustin), at the ZBH of the University of Hamburg (Hamburg) and at the Max-Planck-Institute for Computer Science (Saarbrücken).

Current further developments of the software:FlexX-PVM: Automatic scheduling on large compute clustersFlexX-C: Efficient docking of combinatorial librariesFlexX-PHARM: Docking under pharmacophore peripheral

conditionsFlexX-Ensemble (FlexE): Docking in consideration to protein

Introduction to CCDC GOLD Suite

• CCDC- Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre• GOLD (Genetic Optimisation

for Ligand Docking) is a genetic algorithm for docking flexible ligands into protein binding sites.

• Predicting how a small molecule will bind to a protein is difficult, and no program can guarantee success. The next best thing is to measure as accurately as possible the reliability of the program, i.e. the chance that it will make a successful prediction in a given instance.

Page 89: Software resources in drug design

GOLD

• GOLD is supplied as part of the GOLD Suite, which includes two additional software component, Hermes and GoldMine.

The Hermes visualiser can be used to assist the preparation of input files for docking with GOLD, visualisation of docking results and calculation of descriptors. The Hermes visualiser is also used for interactive docking setup, e.g. for defining the binding site and the setting of constraints.

GoldMine is a tool for the analysis and post-processing of docking results

Page 90: Software resources in drug design
Page 91: Software resources in drug design

Using the GOLD Wizard to Prepare the Protein File

Selecting a Protein In the Select proteins to use window, read in

the protein file, 3S7S.pdb, by hitting the Load Protein button,

Select the file Click on Open.

Page 92: Software resources in drug design
Page 93: Software resources in drug design

STEPS

Add hydrogens: All hydrogen atoms must be present in the protein input file The hydrogen atoms are placed on the protein in order to ensure that ionisation and tautomeric states are defined unambiguously. Advanced options within GOLD allow for switching between different tautomeric states during docking.

Delete Waters: Water molecules often play key roles in protein-ligand recognition. Water molecules can either form mediating hydrogen bonds between protein and ligand, or be displaced by the ligand on binding. Water molecules within the active site can be retained and allowed to toggle (i.e. switch on and off during docking) and rotate to optimise their H-bonding positions. Those outside of the binding site can be removed from the protein altogether.

Delete ligands The 3S7S.pdb protein is the raw PDB file which is the original protein-ligand complex. For GOLD to effectively dock a ligand back into the active site, the co-crystallised ligand must first be removed.

Page 94: Software resources in drug design
Page 95: Software resources in drug design

Defining the Protein Binding Site

It is necessary to specify the approximate centre and extent of the protein binding site, this can be done in a number of ways from within the Define the binding site window, including from :

A protein atomA point A reference ligand A file containing a list of atoms or residues 

Page 96: Software resources in drug design
Page 97: Software resources in drug design

Specifying a Configuration File Template

At this point you are given the option to load a configuration file template. Configuration templates can be used to load recommended settings for a number of different types of docking protocols

Click Next to proceed to the Select ligands step.

Page 98: Software resources in drug design
Page 99: Software resources in drug design

Specifying the Ligand File

From within the Select Ligands window it is possible to Add single ligands

Select a complete directory of ligand files.Specify a single file containing several ligands

(i.e. a multi-MOL2 or SD file).Click Next to proceed to the Choose a fitness

function window.

Page 100: Software resources in drug design

Selecting a Fitness Function

GOLD offers a choice of scoring functionsGoldScoreChemScoreAstex Statistical PotentialCHEMPLPUser Defined Score

Page 102: Software resources in drug design
Page 103: Software resources in drug design

Selecting Docking Speed

 GOLD optimises the fitness score using a genetic algorithm (GA).

A number of parameters control the precise operation of the genetic algorithm. The settings are encapsulated into three speeds:

Slow (most accurate): this equates to 100,000 operations

Medium: 50,000 operationsFast (least accurate): 10,000 operations

Page 104: Software resources in drug design
Page 105: Software resources in drug design
Page 106: Software resources in drug design

STEPS

Finished our docking setup and re presented with a Run GOLD button with which we can start the docking.

If we were to click on Run GOLD now, the output would be written to the directory the 3S7S.pdb file is stored in. It is generally preferable to write output to a separate directory.

Glide

Glide is designed to assist in high-throughput screening of potential ligands based on binding mode and affinity for a given receptor module.

 One can compare ligand scores with those of other test ligands or compare ligand geometrics with those of a reference ligand.

Additionally one can use Glide to generate one or more plausible binding modes for a newly designed ligand.

Once favourable structures and/or bonding conformations are located with Glide one may use Liaison to obtain binding energies for ligand-receptor pairs.

Page 115: Software resources in drug design

liasion

Liaison is designed to predict ligand binding energies.

Ligands for which binding energies are known are used to calculate the Liaison SVD-fitted parameters-alpha, beta, and gamma.

These parameters are subsequently used to predict binding energies for other ligands with the same receptor.

Page 116: Software resources in drug design

QSite

QSite is mixed mode Quantum Mechanics/Molecular Mechanics program to study geometries and energies of structures not parameterized for use with molecular mechanics, such as those that contain metals or transition states.
