The Schrödinger software suite contains a broad array of computational chemistry and molecular modeling tools that can be used to study the interaction of peptides with proteins. These include molecular docking using Glide and Piper, relative binding free energy predictions with FEP+, conformational searches using MacroModel and Desmond, and structural refinement using Prime and PrimeX. In this review we provide a comprehensive overview of these tools and describe their potential application in the identification and optimization of peptide ligands for proteins.

Supramolecular hydrogels offer a noncovalent binding platform that preserves the bioactivity of structural molecules while enhancing their stability, particularly in the context of diabetic wound repair. In this study, we developed protein-peptide-based supramolecular hydrogels by assembling β-sheet fibrillizing peptides (designated Q11) with β-tail fused recombinant proteins. The Q11 peptides have the ability to drive the gradated assembly of N- or C-terminal β-sheet structure (β-tail) fused recombinant proteins.

Valosin-containing protein (VCP) plays a crucial role in various cellular processes, yet the molecular mechanisms and structural dynamics of its double-psi β-barrel (DPBB) domain, particularly in human, remain insufficiently explored. While previous studies have characterized the VCP_DPBB domain in other organisms, such as thermoplasma acidophilum and methanopyrus kandleri, its evolutionary conservation, binding potential, and stability in human require further investigation. To address this gap, we first employed all-atom molecular dynamics (AAMD) simulations to examine the structural dynamics of the human VCP_DPBB domain.

Bipolar disorder's etiology involves genetics, environmental factors, and gene-environment interactions, underlying its heterogeneous nature and treatment complexity. In 2020, Forstner and colleagues catalogued 378 sequence variants co-segregating with familial bipolar disorder. A notable candidate was an R59Q missense mutation in the PDZ (PSD-95/Dlg1/ZO-1) domain of RGS12.

Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is the predominant type of liver disease worldwide, resulting in significant mortality and a high disease burden. ALD damages multiple organs, including the liver, gut, and brain, causing inflammation, oxidative stress, and fat deposition. In this study, we investigated the effects of rice protein peptides (RPP) on ALD in mice with a primary focus on the gut microbiota and liver metabolites.
