Receptor-Substrate Docking

I Deals with identificationof suitable (“best”)ligands for specificreceptors in proteins.

I Ligands can act eitheras activators or asinhibitors of thebiological function of theprotein in the cell.

I Artificial ligands (i.e.drugs) can be used toup-regulate ordown-regulate theactivity of proteins thatare associated withspecific diseases.

Pharmacophore

“A pharmacophore is theensemble of steric andelectronic features that isnecessary to ensure theoptimal supramolecularinteractions with a specificbiological target structureand to trigger (or block) itsbiologicalresponse.”[Wermuth, et al.Pure Appl. Chem., 1988, 70,1129-1143.]
