Molecular Fingerprinting and Docking of Compounds to the ADA active site

A. Opening Maestro

  • From the assigned computer, a new terminal was created from either of the following steps:

1. Finder > Services > New terminal at folder

-or-

2. press the provided shortcut key F5

  • Then enter $maestro to open the suite.
  • Draw the molecule on the workspace area. Modifications can be made through the Edit panel > build > fragments > atom properties. Sponge the drawn molecule for clarity.
  • To save the molecule, create this entry on the project table -or- from the workspace option > project entry > name and create the project and then save.
  • The next step is to put the molecule under energy minimization to find a stable energetically conformation.


B. Energy Minimization

  • To initiate energy minimization, go to the Applications option > Impact > Minimization.
  • Minimization analyzes the molecule using Classical Physics.
  • A dialog box appears with the force field set on OPLS 2005.
  • Then click the Minimization tab. On the maximum cycles, this was changed to 10,000. The other standard parameters such as gradient criterion (0.01) and energy change criterion (1e-07) were kept. The pH was changed to the desired pH level of 7.4.
  • Knowing there are amino acids present, by changing the pH of the parameters, the structure must also be converted to its alkoxide form at pH 7.4. As a result, through atom types O3 was changed to OM.
  • After all the parameters were set for minimization, the host zorro was chosen and the minimization was started.
  • Double-click the finished minimization on the monitor jobs (from applications option), then label the partial charges of the molecule.
  • Save the project entry.


C. Calculation of Fingerprint

  • Opened Canvas from the Finder by typing $Canvas
  • Created a new project and named it as Aspirin_fingerprint.
  • Imported the energy minimized aspirin saved earlier from maestro.
  • Under applications option, click binary fingerprints > molprint2D
  • Click on the imported molecule and incorporate.
  • Export the molecule by saving it with an extension of .fp
  • A dialog box will appear, choose remove all properties and click ok.
  • Close the project.


D. Screen Fingerprint

  • After closing the previous aspirin project, open the zinc database.
  • Import the aspirin.fp molecule and allow duplicate mappings.
  • Go to the Applications > similar/distance screen > select aspirin.
      • Tanimoto similarity
  • Select the fingerprint column and choose the fingerprint (aspirin)
  • Screen the molecules and then incorporate ~ 15,001
  • Click the fingerprint screen column and sort in descending order to show molecules closest to aspirin.
  • On the panel, select the
