  1. 1. Free energy calculations of G protein-coupled receptor modulation : New methods and applications

    Författare :Willem Jespers; Hugo Gutiérrez-de-Terán; Johan Åqvist; Jonathan Essex; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; G protein-coupled receptor; adenosine receptor; molecular dynamics; free energy perturbation; homology modeling; computer simulations; conformational selectivity; binding free energy.; Biology with specialization in Molecular Biotechnology; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylär bioteknik;

    Sammanfattning : G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are membrane proteins that transduce the signals of extracellular ligands, such as hormones, neurotransmitters and metabolites, through an intracellular response via G proteins. They are abundant in human physiology and approximately 34% of the marketed drugs target a GPCR. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Computational prediction of receptor-ligand binding affinity in drug discovery

    Författare :John Marelius; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cell and molecular biology; computer-aided ligand design; molecular dynamics simulation; linear interaction energy; free energy perturbation; scoring function; dihydrofolate reductase; thrombin; serine proteases; Cell- och molekylärbiologi; Cell and molecular biology; Cell- och molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biotechnology; molekylär bioteknik avd f jonfysik ;

    Sammanfattning : The evaluation of inhibition constants or, more generally, receptor-ligand binding affinities is a crucial part of the drug discovery process. Chemical synthesis and affinity screening is only affordable for a limited number of compounds. This makes computational methods to predict binding affinities of candidate ligands highly desirable.

    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Protein-ligand binding; MD; GIST; GCMC; FEP; Solvation; Entropy; Water; QM MM-FEP; Protein-ligand binding; MD; GIST; GCMC; FEP; Solvation; Entropy; Water; QM MM-FEP;

    Sammanfattning : Understanding how drugs work is of great importance, since it can facilitate drug discovery, both time- and costwise. At the same time, it is important to have methods that can help predict how well does a potential drug molecule bind to its target. Computational methods can in many ways contribute to drug design process. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Chloromethane Complexation by Cryptophanes : Host-Guest Chemistry Investigated by NMR and Quantum Chemical Calculations

    Författare :Zoltan Takacs; Jozef Kowalewski; Mikael Akke; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Host–guest complexes; inclusion phenomenon; cryptophanes; NMR; kinetics; activation energy; dipolar interaction; exchange; quantum chemical optimization; calculated chemical shifts; NOESY; cavity size; fysikalisk kemi; Physical Chemistry;

    Sammanfattning : Host–guest complexes are widely investigated because of their importance in many industrial applications. The investigation of their physico–chemical properties helps understanding the inclusion phenomenon. The hosts investigated in this work are cryptophane molecules possessing a hydrophobic cavity.
