RT Journal Article T1 Comparative Binding Energy (COMBINE) Analysis for Understanding the Binding Determinants of Type II Dehydroquinase Inhibitors A1 Peón López, Antonio A1 Coderch, Claire A1 Gago, Federico A1 González Bello, Concepción K1 Antibiotics K1 Binding interactions K1 Competitive inhibitors K1 Dehydroquinases K1 Structure–activity relationships AB Herein we report comparative binding energy (COMBINE) analyses to derive quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) models that help rationalize the determinants of binding affinity for inhibitors of type II dehydroquinase (DHQ2), the third enzyme of the shikimic acid pathway. Independent COMBINE models were derived for Helicobacter pylori and Mycobacterium tuberculosis DHQ2, which is an essential enzyme in both these pathogenic bacteria that has no counterpart in human cells. These studies quantify the importance of the hydrogen bonding interactions between the ligands and the water molecule involved in the DHQ2 reaction mechanism. They also highlight important differences in the ligand interactions with the interface pocket close to the active site that could provide guides for future inhibitor design PB Wiley SN 1860-7179 YR 2013 FD 2013-04-26 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10347/16925 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10347/16925 LA eng NO Peón, A., Coderch, C., Gago, F., & González-Bello, C.
