Book Biophysical Approaches Determining Ligand Binding to Biomolecular Targets

Download or read book Biophysical Approaches Determining Ligand Binding to Biomolecular Targets written by Alberto Podjarny and published by Royal Society of Chemistry. This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The binding of small ligands to biological molecules is central to most aspects of biological function. The past twenty years has seen the development of an increasing armoury of biophysical methods that not only detect such binding, but also provide varying degrees of information about the kinetics, thermodynamics and structural aspects of the process. These methods have received increasing attention with the growth in more rational approaches to drug discovery and design. This book reviews the latest advances in the application of biophysics to the study of ligand binding. It provides a complete overview of current techniques to identify ligands, characterise their binding sites and understand their binding mechanisms. Particular emphasis is given to the combined use of different techniques and their relative strengths and weaknesses. Consistency in the way each technique is described makes it easy for readers to select the most suitable protocol for their research. The introduction explains why some techniques are more suitable than others and emphasizes the possible synergies between them. The following chapters, all written by a specialist in the particular technique, focus on each method individually. The book finishes by describing how several complimentary techniques can be used together for maximum effectiveness. This book is suitable for biomolecular scientists at graduate or post-doctoral level in academia and industry. Biologists and chemists will also find it a useful introduction to the techniques available.

Book Protein   Ligand Binding Thermodynamics

Download or read book Protein Ligand Binding Thermodynamics written by Justin M. Miller and published by American Chemical Society. This book was released on 2023-06-01 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ligand binding by macromolecules represents a core event of broad relevance to a range of systems, including catalytic systems alongside noncatalytic systems such as nucleic acid binding by transcription factors or extracellular ligand binding by proteins involved in signaling pathways. The scope of this primer is constrained to introduce only foundational models without significant discussion of more advanced topics such as allosteric or linkage effects. Linkage occurs when the binding of a ligand is influenced by the binding of another molecule of the same ligand (homotropic linkage), the binding of a different ligand (heterotropic linkage), physical variables such as temperature or pressure (physical linkage), or changes in macromolecular assembly state (polysteric linkage). Taking this into account, the foundational themes presented in this primer can be used to describe any macromolecule–ligand interaction either by direct use of the models and techniques described here or by applying them to develop more advanced models to explain additional complexities such as those allosteric or linkage effects just mentioned. The target audience of this primer is the senior undergraduate or junior graduate student who lacks a foundation in ligand-binding thermodynamics. As such, we have focused primarily on foundational thermodynamic treatments and presented only general discussions of relevant experimental designs. Readers of this primer will learn how to build a working understanding of common factors that promote energetic favorability for ligand binding; develop a functional toolbox to understand ligand binding from the perspective of collecting, plotting, and interpreting ligand-binding data; enhance proficiency in deriving thermodynamic mechanisms for ligand binding; and become comfortable in interpreting binding data reported in the literature and independently expanding knowledge beyond the scope introduced in this primer.

Book Protein Ligand Interactions

Download or read book Protein Ligand Interactions written by Hans-Joachim Böhm and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2006-03-06 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lock-and-key principle formulated by Emil Fischer as early as the end of the 19th century has still not lost any of its significance for the life sciences. The basic aspects of ligand-protein interaction may be summarized under the term 'molecular recognition' and concern the specificity as well as stability of ligand binding. Molecular recognition is thus a central topic in the development of active substances, since stability and specificity determine whether a substance can be used as a drug. Nowadays, computer-aided prediction and intelligent molecular design make a large contribution to the constant search for, e. g., improved enzyme inhibitors, and new concepts such as that of pharmacophores are being developed. An up-to-date presentation of an eternally young topic, this book is an indispensable information source for chemists, biochemists and pharmacologists dealing with the binding of ligands to proteins.

Book Thermodynamic Analysis of Protein ligand Interactions of Linear Tripeptide HCV NS3 Protease Inhibitors and Progress Toward the Total Synthesis of      arboridinine

Download or read book Thermodynamic Analysis of Protein ligand Interactions of Linear Tripeptide HCV NS3 Protease Inhibitors and Progress Toward the Total Synthesis of arboridinine written by Rachel Marie Wypych and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interactions between proteins and small molecules dictate an overwhelmingly large number of biological processes, yet our knowledge of the effects of ligand structural changes on the thermodynamics of these interactions is fundamentally lacking. In an effort to expand our understanding of protein-ligand thermodynamics, the binding profiles of a series of linear tripeptide HCV NS3 protease inhibitors were analyzed by ITC. Substituents on the P2 proline residue were examined individually, and important trends were elucidated. The addition of a phenyl group to the 2-position of the heteroaryl subunit of the P2 residue resulted in more favorable binding entropy, which is possibly due to the desolvation of nonpolar surface area. Quinolines without a 2-phenyl substituent were found to bind in an alternate conformation with thermodynamic profiles that were dominated by favorable binding enthalpies rather than entropies. This could possibly be due to a favorable hydrogen bonding interaction between the quinoline nitrogen and Asp81 of the catalytic triad. A series of analogs were prepared to examine the effect of incrementally increasing steric bulk at the P3 side chain of HCV NS3 inhibitors in order to preorganize the ligand into the extended conformation. As steric bulk was increased, the binding affinities improved in turn, notably due to increasingly favorable binding enthalpies along with small gains in entropy. This could possibly attributed to a combination of factors including the entropic benefit derived from preorganization and an enthalpy-driven hydrophobic effect. Several concise synthetic routes were designed toward the total synthesis of the pentacyclic indole alkaloid (±)-arboridinine. A novel Diels-Alder cycloaddition of an indole-3-glyoxamide with a diene to form a key tricyclic intermediate was attempted, but no reaction was observed under a variety of conditions. A second-generation attempt featured attempts at a challenging cascade reaction involving a conjugate addition of an indole-3-glyoxamide into an enone and subsequent attack of an enolate into the intermediate 3,3-disubstituted indolenine. The conjugate addition was successful, providing the first example of indole-3-glyoxamides as substrates for conjugate additions into enones. The resulting indolenine was found to be unreactive under acidic conditions and underwent a retro-Michael reaction to return the indole-3-glyoxamide under basic conditions.

Book Inhibitors of Protein   Protein Interactions

Download or read book Inhibitors of Protein Protein Interactions written by Ali Tavassoli and published by Royal Society of Chemistry. This book was released on 2020-11-25 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Protein–protein interactions (PPI) are at the heart of the majority of cellular processes, and are frequently dysregulated or usurped in disease. Given this central role, the inhibition of PPIs has been of significant interest as a means of treating a wide variety of diseases. However, there are inherent challenges in developing molecules capable of disrupting the relatively featureless and large interfacial areas involved. Despite this, there have been a number of successes in this field in recent years using both traditional drug discovery approaches and innovative, interdisciplinary strategies using novel chemical scaffolds. This book comprehensively covers the various aspects of PPI inhibition, encompassing small molecules, peptidomimetics, cyclic peptides, stapled peptides and macrocycles. Illustrated throughout with successful case studies, this book provides a holistic, cutting-edge view of the subject area and is ideal for chemical biologists and medicinal chemists interested in developing PPI inhibitors.
