  2. Split-intein circular ligation of peptides and proteins

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-intein_circular...

    Once a cyclic peptide is identified with a biological activity of interest, it may also be possible to identify the target of the peptide (a gene that encodes a protein with which it interacts) by functional complementation, facilitating a better understanding of its mechanism of action.

  3. Protein–ligand docking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein–ligand_docking

    Coarse-grained models are often implemented in the case of protein-peptide docking, as they frequently involve large-scale conformation transitions of the protein receptor. [7] [8] AutoDock is one of the computational tools frequently used to model the interactions between proteins and ligands during the drug discovery process. Although the ...

  4. Docking (molecular) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Docking_(molecular)

    Docking flow-chart overview. To perform a docking screen, the first requirement is a structure of the protein of interest. Usually the structure has been determined using a biophysical technique such as X-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy or; cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), but can also derive from homology modeling construction. This ...

  5. Arginylglycylaspartic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arginylglycylaspartic_acid

    The structural rigidity of cyclic RGD peptides improves their binding properties and prevents degradation at the highly susceptible aspartic acid residue, thereby increasing their stability. [30] Many RGD derivative drugs and diagnostics are cyclized, including Eptifibatide, Cilengitide, CEND-1, and 18 F-Galacto-RGD, and 18 F-Fluciclatide-RGD.

  6. Macromolecular docking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macromolecular_docking

    Macromolecular docking is the computational modelling of the quaternary structure of complexes formed by two or more interacting biological macromolecules. Protein –protein complexes are the most commonly attempted targets of such modelling, followed by protein– nucleic acid complexes.

  7. Cyclic peptide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_peptide

    α-Amanitin Bacitracin Ciclosporin. Cyclic peptides are polypeptide chains which contain a circular sequence of bonds. [1] This can be through a connection between the amino and carboxyl ends of the peptide, for example in cyclosporin; a connection between the amino end and a side chain, for example in bacitracin; the carboxyl end and a side chain, for example in colistin; or two side chains ...

  8. Cyclotide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclotide

    The active ingredient was later determined to be a cyclic peptide, named kalata B1, after the traditional name for the tea, kalata-kalata. Although in vivo studies in rats confirmed the uterotonic activity of the purified peptide, it was another 20 years before the cyclic cystine knot motif and structure of the purified peptide were elucidated.

  9. Diketopiperazine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diketopiperazine

    DKP's are the smallest known class of cyclic peptide. [1] Despite their name, they are not ketones, but amides. Three regioisomers are possible, differing in the locations of the carbonyl groups. Retosiban [2] is a diketopiperazine being investigated as an oral drug. One isomer is an oxamide obtained from ethylenediamine.
