摘要: We have successfully identified one new inhibitor and fluorescent recognition agent for the botulinum neurotoxin subtype A (BoNT/A) using virtual screening protocol “protein scanning with ligand screening” (PSVLS). Hit selection used an in-house developed holistic binding scoring method. Selected hits were tested experimentally inhibitory activity fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) assays against light chain (catalytic domain) of BoNT/A. Ligand was determined heavy BoNT/A complex through either radiolabeled (nonfluorescent ligands) or intensity (fluorescent ligands). These experimental confirmed compound (paclitaxel) to inhibit BoNT/A’s proteolytic IC50 5.2 μM. derivative also bind toxin therefore is a suitable candidate rational design detection agents development o...
