Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9838208A2] Disclosed is a method of determining receptor-ligand affinities by constructing a receptor protein model, placing a ligand into the binding pocket portion of the receptor protein model, calculating the protein-ligand interaction energies and then predicting the ligand binding affinity for the receptor protein from a mathematical equation. This method provides for a way of determining receptor binding affinities of potential ligand molecules without the need of actually preparing these molecules in a laboratory and testing them by in vitro receptor binding assays. Such determinations are useful for identifying potential ligands of receptors for use in studying receptor binding, in studying receptor activities, as potential modulators of receptor activity, and as actual or lead compunds useful as therapeutics which modulate receptor activity.
