Abstract
Two methods for structure-based computational ligand design are reviewed. Hydrophobicity maps allow to quantitatively estimate and graphically display the propensity of nonpolar groups to bind at the surface of a protein target [Scarsi etal., Proteins Struct. Funct. Genet., 37 (1999) 565].The program SEED (Solvation Energy for Exhaustive Docking) finds optimal positions and orientations of nonpolar fragments using the hydrophobicity maps, while polar fragments are docked with at least one hydrogen bond with the protein [Majeuxet al., Proteins Struct. Funct. Genet., 37 (1999) 88]. An efficient evaluation of the binding energy, including continuum electrostatic solvation, allows to dock a library of 100 fragments into a 25-residue binding site in about five hours on a personal computer. Applications to thrombin, a key enzyme in the blood coagulation cascade, andthe p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase, which is a target for the treatment of inflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases, are presented. The role of the hydrophobicity maps and structure-based docking of a fragment library in exploiting genomes to design drugs is addressed.
