Discussion | The increase of compound phenotypic screenings over the last years has dramatically increased the number of small molecules with non-annotated protein targets [40—42]. |
Introduction | Other methods use local structural comparisons of small molecule binding sites to infer the localization and specificity of binding pockets [25,26] as well as to infer new ligand interactions in known binding pockets [27]. |
Introduction | Here, we describe the method alongside the predictions for all the small molecule drugs present in DrugBank [32] against the human 3D proteome. |
Ligand sub-network | Briefly, the RFC classifier predicts whether two small molecules are likely to bind the same target-binding site by comparing their structural and chemical properties. |
nAnnoLyze prediction examples | Since structurally similar binding sites are more likely to bind the same small molecule . |
nAnnoLyze prediction examples | Although small changes in the catalytic site could have a dramatic impact on the bind-ing-affinity of a small molecule , the overall high similarity among the Sorafenib predicted binding sites shows a clear trend towards binding site conservation within this set of proteins. |
Experimental validation of the theory | concentrations of the GR agonist Dex including EtOH in the presence of different concentrations of APILUC reporter plus one of three added cofactors: the plasmid for TIF2 or two small molecules (NU6027 and phenanthroline) recently identified in a high throughput screen as accelerators of GR transactivation [30]. |
O U | 4 and 5 show that the dose-response parameters are also well fit by linear-fractional functions for the small molecules NU6027 and phenanthroline [30]. |
Y5.) + X'; = Y', +7C | Using the extensively characterized system of GR repression of APl induction in UZOS.rGR cells with a transiently transfected synthetic reporter [8,15,28,29] , we show that four factors (the reporter gene, TIF2, and two small molecules [30]) have the same kinetically-defined mechanism and position of action as in GR-regulated gene induction. |
