By leveraging recent computational and cheminformatic advancements, AutoGrow4 is faster, more stable, and more modular than previous versions. Features such as docking-software compatibility, chemical filters, multithreading options, and selection methods have been expanded to support a wide range of user needs. This dissertation will cover the development and validation of AutoGrow4, as well as its application to poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1).

  • The Dimer-Monomer Equilibrium of SARS-Cov-2 Main
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN The dimer‑monomer equilibrium of SARS‑CoV‑2 main protease is afected by small molecule inhibitors Lucia Silvestrini1, Norhan Belhaj2, Lucia Comez3, Yuri Gerelli2, Antonino Lauria4, Valeria Libera5, Paolo Mariani2, Paola Marzullo4, Maria Grazia Ortore2, Antonio Palumbo Piccionello4, Caterina Petrillo5, Lucrezia Savini1, Alessandro Paciaroni5 & Francesco Spinozzi2* The maturation of coronavirus SARS‑CoV‑2, which is the etiological agent at the origin of the COVID‑ 19 pandemic, requires a main protease Mpro to cleave the virus‑encoded polyproteins. Despite a wealth of experimental information already available, there is wide disagreement about the Mpro monomer‑dimer equilibrium dissociation constant. Since the functional unit of Mpro is a homodimer, the detailed knowledge of the thermodynamics of this equilibrium is a key piece of information for possible therapeutic intervention, with small molecules interfering with dimerization being potential broad‑spectrum antiviral drug leads. In the present study, we exploit Small Angle X‑ray Scattering (SAXS) to investigate the structural features of SARS‑CoV‑2 Mpro in solution as a function of protein concentration and temperature. A detailed thermodynamic picture of the monomer‑dimer equilibrium is derived, together with the temperature‑dependent value of the dissociation constant. SAXS is also used to study how the Mpro dissociation process is afected by small inhibitors selected by virtual screening. We fnd that these inhibitors afect dimerization and enzymatic activity to a diferent extent and sometimes in an opposite way, likely due to the diferent molecular mechanisms underlying the two processes. The Mpro residues that emerge as key to optimize both dissociation and enzymatic activity inhibition are discussed.
