Recognition at macromolecular interfaces: Protein
Dossier and Protein Fingerprints produce Surface Signatures, a simple
and powerful technique for coding and comparing compound and receptor
shape information.
Macromolecular interfaces are important because they represent the
interacting part of molecules and they have been shown to exhibit
surface comlementarity (geometric and physico-chemical). Our package
of algorithms: STING Millennium Suite (SMS), is designed to produce
general and specific structure and function descriptors, necessary
for better understanding of interactions which occure at macromolecular
interfaces. Protein Dossier is one of the modules of SMS which gives
intuitive and simple presentation for number of physical observables
easily calculated from given structure. The SMS Protein Fingerprint
module generates contour maps of the ligands and receptors calculated
from their radius spherical harmonic expansion functions. The Protein
Dossier in combination with Protein Fingerprints module allows us
to be able to do massive virtual screening of potential drugs against
identified potential targets on protein surfaces."
