摘要: The increasing number of RNA crystal structures enables a structure-based approach to the discovery new RNA-binding ligands. To develop poorly explored area RNA-ligand docking, we have conducted virtual screening exercise for purine riboswitch probe strengths and weaknesses docking. Using standard protein-ligand docking program with only minor modifications, four ligands binding affinities in micromolar range were identified, including two compounds based on molecular scaffolds not resembling known performed comparably indicating that this is promising option explore wealth ligand design.
