In recent years, the application of deep learning models to protein-ligand docking and affinity prediction, both vital for structure-based drug design, has garnered increasing interest. However, many of these models overlook the intricate modeling of interactions between ligand and protein atoms in the complex, consequently limiting their capacity for generalization and interpretability. In this work, we propose Interformer, a unified model built upon the Graph-Transformer architecture. The proposed model is designed to capture non-covalent interactions utilizing an interaction-aware mixture density network. Additionally, we introduce a negative sampling strategy, facilitating an effective correction of interaction distribution for affinity prediction. Experimental results on widely used and our in-house datasets demonstrate the effectiveness and universality of the proposed approach. Extensive analyses confirm our claim that our approach improves performance by accurately modeling specific protein-ligand interactions. Encouragingly, our approach advances docking tasks state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance.

Photocrosslinking and capture for the analysis of carbohydrate-dependent interactions.

Bioorg Med Chem Lett

December 2024

Department of Chemistry, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA 90089, USA. Electronic address:

Carbohydrates play crucial roles in biological systems, including by mediating cell and protein interactions. The complexity and transient nature of carbohydrate-dependent interactions pose significant challenges for their characterization, as traditional techniques often fail to capture these low-affinity binding events. This review highlights the increasing utility of photocrosslinkers in studying carbohydrate-mediated interactions.

The sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca ATPase (SERCA) is a membrane transporter that creates and maintains intracellular Ca stores. In the heart, SERCA is regulated by an inhibitory interaction with the monomeric form of the transmembrane micropeptide phospholamban (PLB). PLB also forms avid homo-pentamers, and dynamic exchange of PLB between pentamers and SERCA is an important determinant of cardiac responsiveness to exercise.

Background And Objective: In silico human models are being used more and more to predict the potential proarrhythmic risk of compounds. It has been shown that incorporation of the dynamics of drug-hERG channel interactions can have an important impact on the action potential duration (APD) at normal heart rates. Our aim is to investigate the relevance of drug dynamics on other important biomarkers of proarrhythmic risk.

Odorant binding proteins (OBPs) play key roles in the insect olfactory system by assisting the neuronal response to hydrophobic odor molecules, understanding their interaction with ligands will facilitate the virtual screening of behaviorally active compounds in insects. Here, we successfully cloned and confirmed CmedOBP13, an antennae-biased OBP from the rice leaffolder Cnaphalocrocis medinalis, as a secreted protein. Recombinant CmedOBP13 was obtained using the Escherichia coli system, and its binding affinities to 35 volatile compounds emitted by rice plants and three sex pheromone components from female moths were assessed by a competitive binding assay.

Unveiling cyclodextrin conjugation as multidentate excipients: An exploratory journey across industries.

Carbohydr Res

December 2024

Department of Physics, Rayat Shikshan Sanstha's Dada Patil Mahavidyalaya, Karjat, Dist - Ahemadnagar, M.S. 414 402, India.

The discovery of branched molecules like dextrin by Schardinger in 1903 marked the inception of cyclodextrin (CD) utilization, catalyzing its journey from laboratory experimentation to widespread commercialization within the pharmaceutical industry. CD, a cyclic oligosaccharide containing glucopyranose units, acts as a versatile guest molecule, forming inclusion complexes (ICs) with various host molecules. Computational studies have become instrumental in elucidating the intricate interactions between β-CD and guest molecules, enabling the prediction of binding energy, forces, affinity, and complex stability.
