Statistical deconvolution of enthalpic energetic contributions to MHC-peptide binding affinity [PDF]
Background: MHC Class I molecules present antigenic peptides to cytotoxic T cells, which forms an integral part of the adaptive immune response. Peptides are bound within a groove formed by the MHC heavy chain. Previous approaches to MHC Class I-peptide

Cumulative mutagenesis of the basic residues in the 201-218 region of insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-binding protein-5 results in progressive loss of both IGF-I binding and inhibition of IGF-I biological action [PDF]
We have reported previously that mutation of two conserved nonbasic amino acids (G203 and Q209) within the highly basic 201–218 region in the C-terminal domain of IGF-binding protein-5 (IGFBP-5) decreases binding to IGFs.

Exploring protein-ligand binding affinity prediction with electron density-based geometric deep learning [PDF]
Rational structure-based drug design relies on accurate predictions of protein-ligand binding affinity from structural molecular information. Some of the existing deep learning approaches for this purpose have been criticized for insufficiently capturing

How to measure and evaluate binding affinities
Quantitative measurements of biomolecule associations are central to biological understanding and are needed to build and test predictive and mechanistic models. Given the advances in high-throughput technologies and the projected increase in the availability of binding data, we found it especially timely to evaluate the current standards for ...

A Beginner’s Guide to Molecular Docking
In this opinion, the basics of molecular docking (MD) such as binding affinity, binding pose, and ligand interactions with common docking-related terminologies (Apo protein, positive control, native ligand, co-crystal inhibitors) are discussed.

Cyclopentadienyltricarbonylrheniumbenzazepines: synthesis and binding affinity
Analogues of the benzazepine dopamine D1 receptor antagonist SCH-23390 incorporating the cyclo-pentadienyltricarbonyl-rhenium (CPTR) moiety were synthesized and evaluated pharmacologically. The CPTR derivatives retained affinity (0.3-2.9 nM) and D1 selectivity of the parent compound, supporting their use as neuropharmacological surrogates for 99mTc ...

Investigation of substituent effect of 1-(3,3-diphenylpropyl)-piperidinyl phenylacetamides on CCR5 binding affinity using QSAR and virtual screening techniques [PDF]
A linear quantitative–structure activity relationship model is developed in this work using Multiple Linear Regression Analysis as applied to a series of 51 1-(3,3-diphenylpropyl)-piperidinyl phenylacetamides derivatives with CCR5 binding affinity.
