Method of identifying compounds that modulate intermolecular interactions between a target protein, such as β- lactamase, and a modifier, e.g. a substrate, are disclosed. Pharmaceutical composition comprising compounds that inhibit intermolecular interactions between the target protein and a modifier are disclosed. Methods of treating individual suffering from inflammatory conditions, undesirable immune responses, immunological conditions and bacterial infections are disclosed.
The drug screening method is based on the identification of an allosteric-like cavity near (15-20 Å), but distinct from the critically active (catalytic) site, which interacts with the modifier.
本发明公开了鉴定可调节靶蛋白(如β-内酰胺酶)与调节剂(如底物)之间分子间相互作用的化合物的方法。本发明还公开了药物组合物,该药物组合物包含可抑制靶蛋白与修饰剂之间分子间相互作用的化合物。本发明公开了治疗患有炎症、不良免疫反应、免疫学疾病和细菌感染的个体的方法。
该药物筛选方法是基于识别一个靠近(15-20 Å)但不同于关键活性(催化)位点的异位类空腔,该空腔与修饰剂相互作用。
