Protein-Protein Docking Using Region-Based 3d Zernike Descriptors., Vishwesh Venkatraman, Yifeng D. Yang, Lee Sael, Daisuke Kihara Jan 2009

Protein-Protein Docking Using Region-Based 3d Zernike Descriptors., Vishwesh Venkatraman, Yifeng D. Yang, Lee Sael, Daisuke Kihara

Department of Biological Sciences Faculty Publications

Background

Protein-protein interactions are a pivotal component of many biological processes and mediate a variety of functions. Knowing the tertiary structure of a protein complex is therefore essential for understanding the interaction mechanism. However, experimental techniques to solve the structure of the complex are often found to be difficult. To this end, computational protein-protein docking approaches can provide a useful alternative to address this issue. Prediction of docking conformations relies on methods that effectively capture shape features of the participating proteins while giving due consideration to conformational changes that may occur.

Results

We present a novel protein docking algorithm based …


Application Of 3d Zernike Descriptors To Shape-Based Ligand Similarity Searching, Vishwesh Venkatraman, Padmasini Ramji Chakravarthy, Daisuke Kihara Jan 2009

Application Of 3d Zernike Descriptors To Shape-Based Ligand Similarity Searching, Vishwesh Venkatraman, Padmasini Ramji Chakravarthy, Daisuke Kihara

Department of Biological Sciences Faculty Publications

Background

The identification of promising drug leads from a large database of compounds is an important step in the preliminary stages of drug design. Although shape is known to play a key role in the molecular recognition process, its application to virtual screening poses significant hurdles both in terms of the encoding scheme and speed.

Results

In this study, we have examined the efficacy of the alignment independent three-dimensional Zernike descriptor (3DZD) for fast shape based similarity searching. Performance of this approach was compared with several other methods including the statistical moments based ultrafast shape recognition scheme (USR) and SIMCOMP, …
