Molecular dynamics simulations reveal phosphorylation-induced conformational dynamics of the fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 kinase

Subhasmita Mahapatra et al.

Summary: In this study, the phosphorylation-induced conformational dynamics of FGFR1 in both apo and ATP-bound states were investigated using molecular dynamics simulations. The findings reveal that phosphorylation and ATP binding can lead to a fully active configuration of FGFR1 kinase. The formation of a 3-10 helix in the activation loop and strong salt-bridge interactions contribute to the stability and compactness of the structure.

Plant derived active compounds of ayurvedic neurological formulation, Saraswatharishta as a potential dual leucine zipper kinase inhibitor: an in-silico study

Suman Koirala et al.

Summary: Recent findings have emphasized the important role of dual leucine zipper kinase (DLK) in neuronal degeneration. Saraswatharishta (SWRT), a traditional Indian medicine, has shown effectiveness in treating neurodegenerative diseases. This study aims to explore the detailed mechanism of action of phytochemicals in SWRT against DLK. By screening over 500 phytochemicals derived from the main ingredients of SWRT, four novel compounds were identified and further investigated through molecular dynamics simulations. Among these compounds, CID16066851 from Acorus calamus showed the most stable interaction with DLK. The study identified key residues and highlighted the significance of electrostatic and van der Waals interactions in the binding process. The findings suggest potential for future drug development targeting neurodegenerative conditions.

Microsecond dynamics of H10N7 influenza neuraminidase reveals the plasticity of loop regions and drug resistance due to the R292K mutation

Md Fulbabu Sk et al.

Summary: This study investigated the structural dynamics and drug resistance mechanisms of neuraminidase N7. The results revealed that the mutant systems showed significant conformational changes and a mutation led to drug resistance. The study suggests that drug resistance can be reduced by strengthening the hydrogen bond contacts between the drug and the mutant N7 or preserving closed cavity conformations.

Prediction of Rab5B inhibitors through integrative in silico techniques

Dharmendra Kashyap et al.

Summary: Rab5B, a small monomeric G protein, regulates endocytosis and signaling pathways related to cell growth, survival, and apoptosis. In this study, we identified inhibitors that can target Rab5B GTPase using molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations. The findings suggest potential hits for further research and development of Rab5B inhibitors.

A comparative study of structural and conformational properties of WNK kinase isoforms bound to an inhibitor: insights from molecular dynamic simulations

Nisha Amarnath Jonniya et al.

Summary: This study investigates the structural and conformational properties of WNK kinase isoforms bound to an ATP competitive inhibitor, as well as the effect of phosphorylation on each isoform. The study shows that phosphorylation stabilizes different regions of the protein-inhibitor complexes and leads to different structural dynamics in different isoforms.

Investigating the mechanism of recognition and structural dynamics of nucleoprotein-RNA complex from Peste des petits ruminants virus via Gaussian accelerated molecular dynamics simulations

Rajarshi Roy et al.

Summary: This study investigates the structural and conformational properties of the nucleocapsid (N) protein from Peste des petits ruminants virus when it interacts with genomic RNA. The results suggest that the mutant protein-RNA complexes are more stable compared to the wild type, and the binding of RNA weakens the overall motion. The study also shows that the binding is mainly driven by van der Waals interactions, and hotspot residues contribute significantly to the binding free energy.

Mustafa Altindis et al.

Summary: Monkeypox is an emerging zoonotic disease caused by the monkeypox virus, transmitted through close contact with infected animals, humans, or contaminated objects. Laboratory testing is necessary to confirm cases due to atypical clinical presentation, with nucleic acid amplification testing being the common method. There is a need for a global and effective laboratory network to enhance preparedness for this disease.

Shweta Jakhmola et al.

Summary: The study investigated the use of phytochemicals and FDA-approved drugs for multiple sclerosis as potential anti-EBNA1 molecules through molecular docking and dynamics simulations. The results showed promising binding affinities between FDA drugs like ozanimod, siponimod, teriflunomide, and phytochemicals like emodin and EGCG with EBNA1. Molecular analysis identified key amino acid residues in the binding process, providing insights for potential drug development against EBV.

Characterizing an allosteric inhibitor-induced inactive state in with-no-lysine kinase 1 using Gaussian accelerated molecular dynamics simulations

Nisha Amarnath Jonniya et al.

Summary: The WNK kinase is important in blood pressure regulation, with WNK1 being a potential target for hypertension treatment. Allosteric inhibitors, binding to non-conserved sites, induce structural changes that render the kinase inactive. Understanding these mechanisms may aid in the design of specific inhibitors against WNK1.
