4. BIOINFORMATICS
Definition
Scope/Application: Bio storage, Drug Design, Sequence analysis…etc
Bio Data storage: Human genome project., gene, protein data storage
Ex: NCBI, PDB, RCBI……
Sequence analysis: DNA and protein detailed sequence analysis
Ex: BLAST, FASTA, GenBank
Drug Design and docking: Involves Computer aided drug design and track drug
target binding
This computer aided drug design helps scientists and
Researchers can test a drug before human trials with use of astonishing information
technology.
Ex : Uniprot, SwissAdme
5. MOLECULAR DOCKING
Molecular docking is a process
by which we can know the
compatability of two
molecules
It is the process which describe
the “best-fit” orientation of a
ligand that binds to a particular
protein of interest.
6. Docking is like a LOCK and KEY
mechanism
Molecular docking process ia also
known as “lock and key
mechanism”
Like particular key is compatible
to particular lock……a Particular
ligand is compatible to particular
Protein
This lock and key theory is
proposed by Emil Fischer
7. • Both are one and the same
Lock and key Ligand and protein
9. Importance of Molecular docking
Molecular
Docking
Determine lowest free enrgy
structure for the ligand
protein complex
Screening of side effects
caused by interactions
with other nolecules
To check the specificity of
potential drug against
homologous proteins
through docking
Study of geometry of
particular ligand
complex
Can be used to predict
pollutants that can be
degraded by enzymes
Used as tool to
predict protein-
protein interaction
10. Types of Docking
Protein-Ligand
Protein-Protein
Protein-Nucleotide
12. Steps in Molecular docking
• Selection of target and preparing
• Selection of ligand
• Docking of particular ligand and
target
• Evaluating the results of docking
15. BIOLOGICAL DATABASES
NCBI(National center for bitechnology information)
• Detailed Information of nucleotide an protein
sequences of million’s of organisms
• Publications of various researches and BLAST
17. BIOLOGICAL DATABASES
DRUGBANK
It is a fully searchable in Silico drug resource that provides detailedinformation
about the dstructure,character and property of a drug
18. BIOLOGICAL DATABASES
PDB(Protein data bank)
It is a database consisting of the structure and properties of various
proteins present all over the world
