Peptide Binding Analysis and Optimization
Structure preparation / Interaction analysis / Patch analysis / Protein contacts / Protein properties / Virtual mutagenesis
The webinar covers methods for analyzing and optimizing peptide-protein interactions in the active site. Using a model system consisting of MDMX protein and a peptide ligand modelled from p53, key contacts and interactions will be identified. Properties of the peptide ligand will be calculated, and opportunities for optimisation of the peptide will be derived by calculating protein patches and other properties for the receptor. We will then see how to mutate the residues in the peptide ligand to optimise binding, both by editing one residue at a time, and by "residue scanning" / virtual mutagenesis, which allows us to investigate the effects of multiple mutations together, thereby identifying beneficial changes.

X-Ray Crystallography: Structure Preparation, Electron Density and Solvent Analysis
Structure preparation / Sidechain rotamer exploration / Electron density maps / Solvent analysis with 3D-RISM
The webinar will cover methods for evaluating, analyzing and refining protein models derived from X -ray crystallographic data. Topics related to protein structure preparation and side-chain conformational analysis and placement will be discussed. Visualization and interpretation of electron density maps for assessing protein models will be described. The 3D-RISM method for predicting and refining the placement of solvent molecules in protein models will also be presented.
AmberEHT Forcefield: Novel Approaches to Small Molecule Parameterization
Forcefield Parametrization / Forcefield Development / Forcefield Validation / Atom-type Free Parametrization / AmberEHT Forcefield
A new methodology to determine bonded forcefield parameters is presented. A coordinate-free Hückel calculation is the basis for chemical perception and the results are used in combination with physical chemistry relationships to determine parameters for bond lengths, angles and torsions (with associated force constants). Comparisons to quantum mechanical torsion profiles are presented to validate the resulting parameterizations.
