Methods for Improving Aptamer Binding Affinity [PDF]

open access: yesMolecules, 2016
Aptamers are single stranded oligonucleotides that bind a wide range of biological targets. Although aptamers can be isolated from pools of random sequence oligonucleotides using affinity-based selection, aptamers with high affinities are not always ...

DrugForm-DTA: Towards real-world drug-target binding affinity model [PDF]

open access: yesComputational and Structural Biotechnology Journal
Drug-target affinity (DTA) prediction is a fundamental challenge in drug discovery. Computational methods for predicting DTA can greatly assist drug design by narrowing the search space and reducing the number of protein-ligand complexes with low ...

Low-affinity CTCF binding drives transcriptional regulation whereas high-affinity binding encompasses architectural functions

open access: yesiScience, 2023
Summary: CTCF is a DNA-binding protein which plays critical roles in chromatin structure organization and transcriptional regulation; however, little is known about the functional determinants of different CTCF-binding sites (CBS).

Probing high affinity sequences of DNA aptamer against VEGF165. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF(165)) is a potent angiogenic mitogen commonly overexpressed in cancerous cells. It contains two main binding domains, the receptor-binding domain (RBD) and the heparin-binding domain (HBD). This study attempted to

Binding affinity and mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 variants

open access: yesComputational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2021
During the rapid worldwide spread of SARS-CoV-2, the viral genome has been undergoing numerous mutations, especially in the spike (S) glycoprotein gene that encode a type-I fusion protein, which plays an important role in the infectivity and ...

Method for computing protein binding affinity [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Computational Chemistry, 2004
AbstractA Monte Carlo method is given to compute the binding affinity of a ligand to a protein. The method involves extending configuration space by a discrete variable indicating whether the ligand is bound to the protein and a special Monte Carlo move, which allows transitions between the unbound and bound states.
