Secondary Binding Site of CYP17A1 in Enhanced Sampling Simulations
Androgens like testosterone and dihydrotestosterone play a key role in prostate cancer progression, making the enzyme CYP17A1, essential for androgen synthesis, a crucial therapeutic target. Recent studies have revealed electron density at the substrate entry channel, suggesting the presence of a secondary binding site. In this study, we calculated the binding free energy landscape of known ligands at this site using Funnel Metadynamics. Our results characterize this binding site and indicate that nonheme-interacting ligands could effectively bind to CYP17A1, providing a novel approach to the design of CYP17A1 inhibitors.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Chemical Information and Modeling publishes papers reporting new methodology and/or important applications in the fields of chemical informatics and molecular modeling. Specific topics include the representation and computer-based searching of chemical databases, molecular modeling, computer-aided molecular design of new materials, catalysts, or ligands, development of new computational methods or efficient algorithms for chemical software, and biopharmaceutical chemistry including analyses of biological activity and other issues related to drug discovery.
Astute chemists, computer scientists, and information specialists look to this monthly’s insightful research studies, programming innovations, and software reviews to keep current with advances in this integral, multidisciplinary field.
As a subscriber you’ll stay abreast of database search systems, use of graph theory in chemical problems, substructure search systems, pattern recognition and clustering, analysis of chemical and physical data, molecular modeling, graphics and natural language interfaces, bibliometric and citation analysis, and synthesis design and reactions databases.
