Design of ligand binding to an engineered protein cavity using virtual screening and thermal up-shift evaluation.

Abstract excerpt

Proteins could be used to carry and deliver small compounds. As a tool for designing ligand binding sites in protein cores, a three-step virtual screening method is presented that has been optimised using existing data on T4 lysozyme complexes and tested in a newly engineered cavity in flavodoxin. The method can pinpoint, in large databases, ligands of specific protein cavities. In the first step,...
