Pentacycloundecane lactam vs lactone norstatine type HIV proteaseinhibitors: binding energy calculations and DFT study B.Honarparvar,H.G. Kruger,T. Govender,G.E. M. Maguire Catalysisand Peptide Research Unit, School ofHealthSciences, University ofKwaZulu-Natal, South Africa Honarparvar@ukzn.ac.za December 2013
Structuresof PCU-lactam-EAIS, its tautomer PCU-lactim-EAIS, PCU-lactone-EAIS inhibitorsand PCU-models
Objectives • MD simulation • Binding free energy calculations • DFT study
Binding free energy calculations Software: Amber12 Method: MMPB(GB)SA
PCU- peptide inhibitor inside the active site of South African HIV protease
PCU-peptide inhibitor docked to HIV protease
MM-PB(GB)SA binding free energy calculations The MM-PB(GB)SA method can be conceptually summarized as: ΔGbind = Gcomplex – (Genzyme + Gligand) where Gcomplex, Genzymeand Gligand are the free energies of the complex, the enzyme and the ligand, respectively.
