Effect of Binding:
Activate, inhibit,
being metabolized or

Mechanism of
Drug Action:
A drug interferes with
the function of a
disease protein by
binding to it.
This interference
stops the disease
process

Note that the active site is a pocket within the enzyme.
Energy Description
Energy is needed to make things or objects change:
Movement, Chemical reaction, Binding, Dissociation, Structural Change,
Conformational change etc.
Why Energy Description for molecular structure?
•
Structure determination (“evolution” of a structural-template into the
correct structure)
•
Binding induced shape change (binding sometimes induces shape
change, one of the mechanisms for the interference of the function of a
molecule by another)
•
Protein motions (proteins undergo internal motions that have implications
such as the switch between active and in-active state)
Energy Description
Kinetic energy -- motional energy
Kinetic energy is related to the speed and mass of a moving object. The higher the
speed and the heavier the object is, the bigger work it can do.
Potential Energy -- "positional" energy.
Water falls from higher ground to lower ground. In physics such a phenomenon is
modeled by potential energy description:
Objects move from higher potential energy place to lower potential energy place.
Potential Energy Description of
Protein Structure “Evolution”
• A molecule changes from higher potential energy form to lower potential
energy form.
• Potential energy is determined by inter-molecular, intra-molecular, and
environmental forces
• Protein structural “evolution” can be performed by systematic variation
of the atom positions towards the lower energy directions. This
procedure is called “structure optimization” or “energy minimization”
Energy Minimization for Structural Optimization
• Protein structure “evolution” can be performed by systematical variation
of the atom positions towards the lower energy directions. This
procedure is called “structure optimization” or “energy minimization”
Potential Energy Surface (PES)
A force field defines for each molecule a unique PES.
Each point on the PES represents a molecular conformation
characterized by its structure and energy.
Energy is a function of the coordinates.
(Next) Coordinates are function of the energy.

Goal of Energy Minimization
A system of N atoms is defined by 3N Cartesian coordinates or 3N6 internal coordinates. These define a multi-dimensional potential
energy surface (PES).
• Minima (stable conformations)
• Maxima
• Saddle points (transition states)

A PES is characterized by
stationary points:

Most populated minimum
Global minimum
Most minimization method can only go downhill and so locate
the closest (downhill sense) minimum.
No minimization method can guarantee the location of the
global energy minimum.
No method has proven the best for all problems.

Two Questions
Where to go (direction)?
How far to go (magnitude)?
f(x,y)
This is where we want to go
How Far To Go? Until the Minimum
Line search in one dimension
• Find 3 points that bracket the minimum
(e.g., by moving along the lines and
recording function values).
• Fit a quadratic function to the points.
• Find the function’s minimum through
differentiation.
• Improved iteratively.
Arbitrary Step

• xk+1 = xk + lksk, lk = step size.
• Increase l as long as energy reduces.
• Decrease l when energy increases.

Where to go?
• Parallel to the force (straight downhill): Sk = -gk
How far to go?
• Line search
• Arbitrary Step

Steepest Descent:Overshooting
SD is forced to make 90º turns between subsequent steps (the
scalar product between the (-18,-36) and the (-8,4) vector is 0
indicating orthogonality) and so is slow to converge.

The Molecular Docking Problem
Given two molecules with 3D conformations in
atomic details:
• Do the molecules bind to each other? If yes:
• How does the molecule-molecule complex looks like?
• How strong is the binding affinity?
Structures of protein-ligand complexes
• X-ray (PDB: 30,179 entries from X-ray
crystallography, NMR and neutron diffraction)
• NMR
Importance of the protein 3D structures
• Resolution < 2.5Å
• Homology modeling problematic
Basic Principles
The association of molecules is based on interactions
• H-bonds, salt bridges, hydrophobic contacts, electrostatic
• Very strong repulsive (VdW) interactions on short distances.
Association interactions are weak and short ranged.
• Strong binding implies surface complementarity.
Most molecules are flexible.
