ABSTRACT
In the drug discovery process, pharmaceutical companies have to screen many drug (or ligand) candidates to find the most promising ones for trial. This process is very costly and attention as turned to computational approaches to predict binding affinity to the desired target protein. In this work, we develop a computational tool for ranking ligand binding affinity that uniformly samples ligand conformations over the target protein's surface and analyzes the resulting set to compute an affinity ranking. Experiments on one target protein shows that our method is able to correctly rank different ligands for the target protein as determined by experimental data. Our method is a promising technique and potential cost-saving tool for pharmaceutical companies to narrow the search for good drug candidate.

Polymorphism in the ligand binding domain of rage alters its binding affinity towards Aβ42 peptides: an in-silico study
The study was aimed to understand the influence of RAGE polymorphism G82S, R48Q, R77C on the binding affinity to Aβ42 peptides through an in-silico approach. The structure of RAGE ectodomain 3CJJ was docked with three forms of Aβ42 [monomeric: apolar ...
