Docking (molecular) — Docking glossary • Receptor or host or lock – The receiving molecule, most commonly a protein or other biopolymer. • Ligand or guest or key – The complementary partner molecule which binds to the receptor. Ligands are most often small molecules… … Wikipedia
Docking@Home — is a distributed computing project hosted by the University of Delaware and running on the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC) software platform. It models protein ligand docking using the CHARMM program. The ultimate aim… … Wikipedia
Docking (Chemie) — Molekulares Docking (kurz Docking, dt.: Ankuppeln, Einpassen) ist ein bioinformatisches/chemoinformatisches Verfahren, mit dem der Bindungsmodus und idealerweise auch die Bindungsenergie zweier aneinander bindenden Biomoleküle vorhergesagt wird.… … Deutsch Wikipedia

Ligand (biochemistry) — Myoglobin (blue) with its ligand heme (orange) bound. Based on PDB 1MBO For other uses of Ligand , see Ligand (disambiguation). In biochemistry and pharmacology, a ligand (from the … Wikipedia
Scoring functions for docking — In the fields of computational chemistry and molecular modelling, scoring functions are fast approximate mathematical methods used to predict the strength of the non covalent interaction (also referred to as binding affinity) between two… … Wikipedia
Protein — Proteins are large organic compounds made of amino acids arranged in a linear chain and joined together by peptide bonds between the carboxyl and amino groups of adjacent amino acid residues. The sequence of amino acids in a protein is defined by … Wikipedia
Searching the conformational space for docking — The search space consists of all possible orientations and conformations of the protein paired with the ligand. With present computing resources, it is impossible to exhaustively explore the search space; this would involve enumerating all… … Wikipedia
Methods to investigate protein–protein interactions — There are many methods to investigate protein–protein interactions. Each of the approaches has its own strengths and weaknesses, especially with regard to the sensitivity and specificity of the method. A high sensitivity means that many of the… … Wikipedia
Peripheral membrane protein — Peripheral membrane proteins are proteins that adhere only temporarily to the biological membrane with which they are associated. These molecules attach to integral membrane proteins, or penetrate the peripheral regions of the lipid bilayer. The… … Wikipedia
