Computer Modeling

Molecular docking studies of two duplex DNA sequences as target fragments and allopsoralen as ligand were performed. The calculated interaction energies showed that the ligand can be docked into the minor groove as well as become intercalated. However, unlike psoralen,… Read more ›

Psoralen interaction with two models of DNA was investigated using molecular mechanics and molecular dynamics methods. Calculated energies of minor groove binding and intercalation were compared in order to define a preferred binding mode for the ligand.We found that both… Read more ›
