Abstract
The use of a computational docking protocol in conjunction with a protein homology model to derive molecular alignments for Comparative Molecular Field Analysis (CoMFA) was examined. In particular, the DOCK program and a model of the herbicidal target site, photosystem II (PSII), was used to derive alignments for two PSII inhibitor training sets, a set of benzo- and napthoquinones and a set of butenanilides. The protein design software in the QUANTA molecular modeling package was used to develop a homology model of spinach PSII based on the reported amino acid sequence and the X-ray crystal structure of the purple bacterium reaction center. The model is very similar to other reported PSII protein homology models. DOCK was then used to derive alignments for CoMFA modeling by docking the inhibitors in the PSII binding pocket. The molecular alignments produced from docking yielded highly predictive CoMFA models. As a comparison, the more traditional atom-atom alignments of the same two training sets failed to produce predictive CoMFA models. The general utilities of this application for homology model refinement and as an alternative scoring method are discussed.
