Protocolo de Rosetta para docking de peptidos que permite flexibilidad del peptido y movimiento limitado del receptor. Optimiza la orientacion y conformacion del peptido en el sitio de union usando Monte Carlo con minimizacion.

Que es un farmacoforo?

Representacion 3D abstracta de caracteristicas estructurales necesarias para actividad biologica. Incluye caracteristicas como H-bond donors/acceptors, regiones hidrofobas, cargas, en disposicion espacial definida. Usado para screening y optimizacion.

Como funciona alanine scanning in silico?

Cada aminoacido del peptido se reemplaza computacionalmente por alanina (o glycina si el original es Ala). Se recalcula el score de union. Cambios grandes indican residuos criticos. Guias que posiciones no modificar.

Por que la prediccion ADMET es diferente para peptidos?

Los modelos tradicionales se entrenaron con moleculas pequenas (<500 Da). Peptidos son mas grandes, tienen backbone peptidico, multiples cargas, y se metabolizan diferente. Los modelos generales sobreestiman o subestiman propiedades.
