Discovery Day

Background:

Protein-ligand interactions are critical for biochemical functionality in living organisms, and determining the binding pocket characteristics of a protein is essential for designing drugs that interact with specific protein pockets. Several software tools, such as Deepsite, FTSite, CASTp, and F pocket, are available for identifying these binding pockets.

Objective:

This study aimed to determine the percentage overlap and identify the best binding pocket of V8 Protease (1QY6) from Staphylococcus aureus using different software tools.

Method:

The study retrieved the protease protein's PDB file from the Protein Data Bank and used software programs such as Deepsite, CASTp, and FTsite to …
