  1. 28th July 2011 Miroslav Brumovský Methods using polarization for insilico fragment-based drug design

  2. Outline • theoretical background • goal of the project • methods used • results

  3. Drug design • inventive process of finding new medications • key process is screening libraries of potential drug compounds (in vivo essays x virtual screening) • this can be done using two approaches • screening of huge libraries of complete compounds • screening of drug fragments → fragment-based drug design • fragment-based drug design benefits from better sensitivity and limited need of screened molecules than the classical approach

  4. Molecular docking • most popular method for virtual screening • predicts the energy and orientation of ligand moleculeswith a receptorin a stable complex (“lock-and-key” problem) • algorithms treating flexible ligand and rigid receptor → best results • results are sorted by scoring function (relative energy) • scoring function usually calculated using force-field atomic charges (no polarization) • when used in FBDD, more accurate (polarized) atomic charges for energy calculations are needed

  5. Goal of the project • improvement of standard molecular docking for more accurate prediction of the ligand-receptor interaction using methods based on polarization • development of a new method applicable in computer-assisted drug design

  6. Methods • standard molecular docking (Glide) • standard atomic charges assigned from force-field • docking with polarized QM/MM ligand charges • ligand atomic charges computed by QM calculations with standard receptor charges (B3LYP/6-311+G*) • docking with polarized both receptor (MM charges) and ligand (QM/MMcharges) • ligand atomic charges computed by QM (B3LYP/6-311+G*) with receptor atomic charges (MM) computed by Method of induced charges

  8. Results RMSD < 2 Å Methods: M1 – standard docking, M2 - docked with QM/MM charges, M3 - docked with MM polarized QM/MM ligand charges

  9. Example – docking of 1N1M RMSD = 0.9 Å RMSD = 1.4 Å A. Standard docking, docking with polarized QM/MM ligand charges B. Docking with polarized both receptor (MM charges) and ligand (QM/MMcharges)

  10. Conclusions • improved methods for docking are more accurate • effect of receptor polarization is not so relevant comparing to the calculations with lower QM basis set • this advanced approach can be succesfully used in fragment-based drug design
