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).

Protein-protein Docking

Protein-Protein Docking Both molecules usually considered rigid 6 degrees of freedom Search space and the energetics of possible binding

Flexible ligand, rigid-receptor Reduce flexible ligand to rigid fragments connected
by one or several hinges, or search the conformational space using molecular dynamics
Types of Docking studies
Rigid Body Docking: No modification in bond angles, lengths & torsion
angles of the components
Flexible Docking : Takes in to the conformational changes
Rigid Vs Flexible docking
Protein docking is the computational determination of protein complex structure from individual protein structures.

Protein –Protein interaction Thermodynamics
(Smith and Sternberg, 2002)
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?
Structure of protein of interest should be known
X-ray Crystallography NMR Spectroscopy
Basic Requirements For Docking
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.
X – rays, wavelengths in the range of 0.7 to 1.5 Å (0.07 to 0.15 nm).

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.

Both molecules are flexible and may alter each other’s structure as they interact:
Hundreds to thousands of degrees of freedom (DOF)
Why this is difficult?
Surface representation, that efficiently represents the docking surface and identifies the regions of interest (cavities and protrusions)
Connolly surface Clustered-Spheres Alpha shapes
Surface matching- that matches surfaces to optimize a binding score:
Some techniques
(Fernandez et al.,2005)
Each atomic sphere is given the van der Waals radius of the atom
Rolling a Probe Sphere over the Van der Waals Surface leads to the Connolly surface
Surface Representation
(Fernandez et al.,2005)
Uses clustered-spheres to identify cavities on the receptor and protrusions on the ligand

In 2D an “edge” between two points is “alpha-exposed” if there exists a circle of radius alpha such that the two points lie on the surface of the circle and the circle contains no other points from the point set

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
DOCK
(Gray et al.,2003)
Docking protocol
(Gray et al.,2003)
RANDOM START POSITIONRANDOM START POSITION
Creation of a decoy begins with a random orientation of each partner and a translation of one partner along the line of protein centers to create a glancing contact between the proteins
Docking protocol
(Gray et al.,2003)
LOW-RESOLUTION MONTE CARLO SEARCHLOW-RESOLUTION MONTE CARLO SEARCH
One partner is translated and rotated around the surface of the other
The score is based in the correctness of each decoy and residue-residue interactions terms
Docking protocol
(Gray et al.,2003)
HIGH-RESOLUTION REFINEMENTHIGH-RESOLUTION REFINEMENT
Side-chains are added to the protein backbones to changing the energy surface
• A filter is employed to detect inferior decoys and reject them without further refinement
Docking protocol
(Gray et al.,2003)
CLUSTERING & PREDICTIONS
The search procedure is repeated to create approximately 105 decoys per target
The 200 best-scoring decoys are then clustered
The clusters with the most members are selected as the final predictions and ranked according to cluster sizes
Docking protocol
(Gray et al.,2003)

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.
