DESCRIPTION

Protein docking is used to check the structure, position and orientation of a protein when it interacts with small molecules like ligands. Protein receptor-ligand motifs fit together tightly, and are often referred to as a lock and key mechanism. There are both high specificity and induced fit within these interfaces with specificity increasing with rigidity. The foremost thing that we need to start with a docking search is the sequence of our protein of interest. (Halperin et al., 2002). Protein-protein interactions occur between two proteins that are similar in size. The interface between the two molecules tends to be flatter and smoother than those in interfaces of these interactions do not have the ability to alter protein-ligand interactions. Protein-protein interactions are usually more rigid, the conformation in order to improve binding and ease movement. (Smith and Sternberg, 2002). The process of drug development has revolved around a screening approach, as nobody knows which compound or approach could serve as a drug or therapy. Such almost blind screening approach is very time-consuming and laborious. The goal of structure-based drug design is to find chemical structures fitting in the binding pocket of the receptor. Based on the three-dimensional structure of the target protein, it can automatically build ligand molecules within the binding pocket and subsequently screen them (Weil et al., 2004). A homology model of the housefly voltage-gated sodium channel was developed to predict the location of binding sites for the insecticides fenvalerate, a synthetic pyrethroid, and DDT, an early generation organochlorine. The model successfully addresses the state-dependent affinity of pyrethroid insecticides. (O’Reilly et al., 2006).

It is of extreme relevance in cellular biology, where function is accomplished by proteins interacting with themselves and with other molecular components

It is the key to rational drug design: The results of docking can be used to find inhibitors for specific target proteins and thus to design new drugs.

Why docking is important?

The spacing of atoms in a crystal lattice can be determined by measuring the locations and intensities of spots produced on photographic film.

x-ray analysis of sodium chloride crystals shows that Na and Cl ions are arranged in a simple cubic lattice.

Modern NMR techniques are being used to determine the structures of larger macromolecules.

NMR is based on nuclear spin angular momentum.

Only certain atoms, including 1H, 13C, 15N, 19F,and 31P, possess the kind of nuclear spin that gives rise to an NMR signal.

DOCK works in 5 steps:

Step 1 Start with crystal coordinates of target receptor

Step 2 Generate molecular surface for receptor

Step 3Step 3 Generate spheres to fill the active site of the receptor: Generate spheres to fill the active site of the receptor: The spheres become potential locations for ligand atomsThe spheres become potential locations for ligand atoms

Step 4 Matching: Sphere centers are then matched to the ligand atoms, to determine possible orientations for the ligand

Step 5 Scoring: Find the top scoring orientation

The voltage-gated sodium channel underlies the propagation of action potentials in neuronal cells of both vertebrates and invertebrates.

During an action potential of the sodium channel undergoes transitions between activated and inactivated functional states, and toxins binding to specific sites on the channel and the channel pore.
