Abstract: We present a new shape-based method, LigandFit, for accurately docking ligands into protein active sites. The method employs a cavity detection algorithm for detecting invaginations in the protein as candidate active site regions. A shape comparison filter is combined with a Monte Carlo conformational search for generating ligand poses consistent with the active site shape. Candidate poses are minimized in the context of the active site using a grid-based method for evaluating protein-ligand interaction energies. Errors arising from grid interpolation are dramatically reduced using a new non-linear interpolation scheme. Results are presented for 19 diverse protein-ligand complexes. The method appears quite promising, reproducing the X-ray structure ligand pose within an RMS of 2A in 14 out of the 19 complexes. A high-throughput screening study applied to the thymidine kinase receptor is also presented in which LigandFit, when combined with LigScore, an internally developed scoring function, yields very good hit rates for a ligand pool seeded with known actives.

Hydroxylation of Steroids by a Microbial Substrate-Promiscuous P450 Cytochrome (CYP105D7): Key Arginine Residues for Rational Design
TL;DR: A microbial substrate-promiscuous P450, CYP105D7, which can catalyze hydroxylation of steroids with low (<10%) conversion rates is presented, and structure-guided site-directed mutagenesis of arginine residues around the substrate entrance and active site showed that the R70A and R190A single mutants and an R 70A/R190A double mutant exhibited greatly enhanced conversion rates for steroid hydroxyation.

DREIDING: A generic force field for molecular simulations
TL;DR: The DREIDING force field as discussed by the authors uses general force constants and geometry parameters based on simple hybridization considerations rather than individual force constants or geometric parameters that depend on the particular combination of atoms involved in the bond, angle, or torsion terms.
