摘要: Significant activity changes due to small structural (i.e., cliffs) of serine/threonine kinase Pim1 inhibitors were studied theoretically using the fragment molecular orbital method with mechanics Poisson–Boltzmann surface area (FMO+MM-PBSA) approach. This methodology enables quantum-chemical calculations for large biomolecules solvation. In course drug discovery targeting Pim1, six benzofuranone-class found differ only in position indole-ring nitrogen atom. By comparing various qualities complex structures based on X-ray, classical (MM)-optimized, and quantum/molecular (QM/MM)-optimized structures, we that QM/MM-optimized provided best correlation (R2 = 0.85) between pIC50 calculated FMO+MM-PBSA binding energy. Combining solvation energy QM was important increase correlation. addition, decomposition interaction en...
