IntegratingIn SilicoPrediction Methods, Molecular Docking, and Molecular Dynamics Simulation to Predict the Impact of ALK Missense Mutations in Structural Perspective

Abstract

Over the past decade, advancements in next generation sequencing technology have placed personalized genomic medicine upon horizon. Understanding the likelihood of disease causing mutations in complex diseases as pathogenic or neutral remains as a major task and even impossible in the structural context because of its time consuming and expensive experiments. Among the various diseases causing mutations, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) play a vital role in defining individual's susceptibility to disease and drug response. Understanding the genotype-phenotype relationship through SNPs is the first and most important step in drug research and development. Detailed understanding of the effect of SNPs on patient drug response is a key factor in the establishment of personalized medicine. In this paper, we represent a computational pipeline in anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) for SNP-centred study by the application of in silico prediction methods, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulation approaches. Combination of computational methods provides a way in understanding the impact of deleterious mutations in altering the protein drug targets and eventually leading to variable patient's drug response. We hope this rapid and cost effective pipeline will also serve as a bridge to connect the clinicians and in silico resources in tailoring treatments to the patients' specific genotype.

Analysis of SYK Gene as a Prognostic Biomarker and Suggested Potential Bioactive Phytochemicals as an Alternative Therapeutic Option for Colorectal Cancer: An In-Silico Pharmaco-Informatics Investigation

“…MDS is a diverse technique that investigates the biomolecular interactions and the interaction between the protein structure and function for modern drug discovery and the performance data from dynamic trajectory [ 75 , 76 ]. In this study, the dynamic simulator YASARA (Version 11.9.18) retained all the physiological and physiochemical parameters (Temp, 310 K; pH, 7.4) and compressors (Na+, Cl−) in 100 ns [ 54 ], and the performance data assessed the dynamic condition of the selected active compounds to suppress the soluble receptor molecules (SYK).…”

Molecular docking and dynamics study of natural compound for potential inhibition of main protease of SARS-CoV-2

“…After the development in late 1970s, molecular dynamics simulation suppress the limitation of computational prediction based on Newtonian physics (George Priya Doss et al., 2014 ;; McCammon et al., 1977 ; Priya Doss et al., 2014 ). Research from previous studies suggest that, combinatorial dynamics and docking approaches can be employed to get structural information as well as impact of protein structure stability upon ligand binding (Dasgupta et al., 2003 ; Nagasundaram & George Priya Doss, 2013 ).…”

Estimation of drug-likeness properties of GC-MS separated bioactive compounds in rare medicinal Pleione maculata using molecular docking technique and SwissADME insilico tools

“…The most commonly known computational tool for drug-target is molecular docking using various algorithms. PatchDock is highly e cient (Prabhu and Rajeswari 2016) accurate (Doss et al 2014), fast transformational search and free-online server in comparison to other computational molecular docking server. PatchDock is a molecular docking algorithm based on the principle of shape complementarity.…”
