  3. 3. Infrared spectroscopy : Method development and ligand binding studies

    Author : Saroj Kumar; Andreas Barth; Janos Mink; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Infrared; Ligand binding; method development; Biophysical chemistry; Biofysikalisk kemi; biofysik; Biophysics;

    Abstract : Infrared spectroscopy detects molecular vibrations and assesses the properties of molecules and their environment. It is a powerful technique to detect ligand induced changes in biomolecules as it has distinct signals and provides different levels of structural information. READ MORE

  4. 4. Advances in Ligand Binding Predictions using Molecular Dynamics Simulations

    Author : Henrik Keränen; Johan Åqvist; Jordi Villà i Freixa; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; free-energy perturbation; molecular dynamics; ligand binding; free-energy perturbation; linear interaction energy; binding free-energy; homology modeling; virtual screening; alanine scanning; amino acid mutagenesis; hERG; GPCR; adenosine receptor; serotonin receptor; BRICHOS; cruzain;

    Abstract : Biochemical processes all involve associations and dissociations of chemical entities. Understanding these is of substantial importance for many modern pharmaceutical applications. In this thesis, longstanding problems with regard to ligand binding are treated with computational methods, applied to proteins of key pharmaceutical importance. READ MORE

  5. 5. Theoretical studies of protein-ligand binding

    Author : Majda Misini Ignjatovic; Beräkningskemi; []
    Keywords : 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;

    Abstract : 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. READ MORE
