Li, Junhao published the artcileEffects of protein flexibility and active site water molecules on the prediction of sites of metabolism for cytochrome P450 2C19 substrates, COA of Formula: C13H8Cl2O4S, the main research area is mol docking protein structure prediction CYP2C19 water metabolism.
Structure-based prediction of sites of metabolism (SOMs) mediated by cytochrome P450s (CYPs) is of great interest in drug discovery and development. However, protein flexibility and active site water mols. remain a challenge for accurate SOM prediction. CYP2C19 is one of the major drug-metabolizing enzymes and has attracted considerable attention because of its polymorphism and capability of metabolizing ∼7% clin. used drugs. In this study, we systematically evaluated the effects of protein flexibility and active site water mols. on SOM prediction for CYP2C19 substrates. Multiple conformational sampling techniques including GOLD flexible residues sampling, mol. dynamics (MD) and tCONCOORD side-chain sampling were adopted for assessing the influence of protein flexibility on SOM prediction. The prediction accuracy could be significantly improved when protein flexibility was considered using the tCONCOORD sampling method, which indicated that the side-chain conformation was important for accurate prediction. However, the inclusion of the crystallog. or MD-derived water mol.(s) does not necessarily improve the prediction accuracy. Finally, a combination of docking results with SMARTCyp was found to be able to increase the SOM prediction accuracy.
