the effectiveness of four approaches in prioritizing building blocks with better potency: selection by a medicinal chemist, manual modeling, docking followed by manual filtering, and free energy calculations (FEP). Our study focused on identifying novel substituents for the apolar S2 pocket of cathepsin L and was conducted entirely in a prospective manner with synthesis and activity determination of 36
通过系统地探测其出口载体之一来提高化学系列的结合亲和力是一种药物化学活性,可以从分子模型输入中受益。在本文中,我们比较了四种方法在更有效地确定构件优先次序方面的有效性:药物化学家的选择,手动建模,对接后进行手动过滤以及自由能计算(FEP)。我们的研究集中于为组织蛋白酶L的非极性S2口袋鉴定新的取代基,并完全以预期方式进行,包括36种新化合物的合成和活性测定。我们发现FEP选择的化合物对10种选择中的8种相比具有更高的亲和力,而其他方法则为10种中的1种。根据此结果和其他分析,
