Molecular Dynamics and Docking Analysis of Biologically Relevant Systems. Identification of Protein Activators and\/or Inhibitors<\/h1>\n

Characterisation of biologically and medically relevant systems, such as protein\/ligand, protein\/membrane and ligand\/membrane systems and ion channels, using in silico molecular dynamics and docking techniques. Computational strategies for the optimisation of bioactive compounds with specific properties in biologically and medically relevant systems. This enables the identification of compounds that may act, for example, as protein activators and\/or inhibitors.<\/h2>\n<\/header>\n\n\n\n

TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION<\/h3>\n
\n

Our bioinformatics capabilities enable us to carry out, using techniques such as molecular dynamics and docking<\/i>, a comprehensive characterisation of molecular structures in biological systems, proteins and lipids, as well as virtual screening of bioactive molecules stored in biomolecular structure databases.<\/p>\n

The application of these techniques enables us not only to determine interaction sites between proteins or between proteins and ligands, but also to simulate complex systems in which membrane systems with a specific lipid composition are included, modelling specific compartments (plasma membrane, organelle membranes, bacterial membranes and skin) to create systems that closely resemble natural systems. Docking<\/i> studies enable the identification of new bioactive compounds through molecular docking using our molecular databases, which contain both natural and organic compounds.<\/p>\n

As part of our capabilities, we have incorporated molecular dynamics simulations to enable the study of macromolecules and ligands in a native environment, including proteins, lipids, water and ions. This allows us to characterise the components of these complex systems and the interactions between them, determining, for example, which specific residues are involved in the mechanism of action of a membrane protein, potential changes in the protein (mutations) that may confer specific properties, and the presence of external inhibitors\/activators for the protein.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
