Thiol Database

The Sigma-Aldrich screening collection and fragment collection has been parsed into thiols. These have been further parsed based on formal charge. Finally, the 3D structures have been created using CORINA and have been optimized with Gaussian (AM1), and structures were docked into Estrogen Receptor Ligand Binding Domain in both forms, agonist (pdb code 1ERE) and antagonist (pdb code 1ERR) using Autodock. Binding score was recomputed using X-SCORE. Molecular Weight and druglike scores were calculated with Pipeline PilotTM (SciTegic, Inc.). Druglike score is based on a comparison to 5233 known drugs, using a Bayesian statistics approach.

The Estrogen Receptor is a member of nuclear hormone receptor family. The docking studies were done in the presence of Estradiol -natural ligand- in the binding site and is a target of breast cancer drugs, as well as endocrine disruptor pollutants. Structures of AM1 minimized compounds are visible from the website by clicking on the 2D image of the molecule. The lowest energy (of 10) docked structures is also visible by clicking on the Autodock energy values in both conformations (agonist and antagonist)and also all ten structures are visible by clicking on the index number (last columns) in both agonist and antagonist forms. To simplify viewing, for Autodock energies, only docked ligand, helixes 11 and 12, and Estradiol are sown. The entire Estrogen Receptor Ligand Binding Domain, Estradiol and the 10 conformations can be seen by clicking the Indexes. Also 99 representatives thiols are available and will be subjected to experimental validation for ER binding using STD NMR-based assays (comming soon).

  Warning: to see 3D structures, you need the Chime plugin from MDL !!
 

Note: Autodock values for docked energy are in KCal/mol units. X-Score values are in pKd units. For X-Score you have to multiply that value with -2.303RT (or -1.364) to get the values in KCal/mol units.

The CPFM has as part of its mission, the goal of providing tools to help Medicinal Chemists design protein inhibitors more effectively, either as drug leads or as tools for studying protein function. To learn more about the CPFM, visit our website at CPFM.
