Enhanced ranking of PknB Inhibitors using data fusion methods.

Journal of cheminformatics | 2013

Mycobacterium tuberculosis encodes 11 putative serine-threonine proteins Kinases (STPK) which regulates transcription, cell development and interaction with the host cells. From the 11 STPKs three kinases namely PknA, PknB and PknG have been related to the mycobacterial growth. From previous studies it has been observed that PknB is essential for mycobacterial growth and expressed during log phase of the growth and phosphorylates substrates involved in peptidoglycan biosynthesis. In recent years many high affinity inhibitors are reported for PknB. Previously implementation of data fusion has shown effective enrichment of active compounds in both structure and ligand based approaches .In this study we have used three types of data fusion ranking algorithms on the PknB dataset namely, sum rank, sum score and reciprocal rank. We have identified reciprocal rank algorithm is capable enough to select compounds earlier in a virtual screening process. We have also screened the Asinex database with reciprocal rank algorithm to identify possible inhibitors for PknB.

ExPANdS (tool)

RRID:SCR_005199

Software that characterizes coexisting subpopulations (SPs) in a tumor using copy number and allele frequencies derived from exome- or whole genome sequencing input data. The model amplifies the statistical power to detect coexisting genotypes, by fully exploiting run-specific tradeoffs between depth of coverage and breadth of coverage. ExPANdS predicts the number of clonal expansions, the size of the resulting SPs in the tumor bulk, the mutations specific to each SP and tumor purity. The main function runExPANdS provides the complete functionality needed to predict coexisting SPs from single nucleotide variations (SNVs) and associated copy numbers. The robustness of the subpopulation predictions by ExPANdS increases with the number of mutations provided. It is recommended that at least 200 mutations are used as an input to obtain stable results.

Open MEG Archive (tool)

RRID:SCR_014930

Open data repository fully dedicated to MEG data in raw and processed form. The archive also contains anatomical MRI volumes and demographic and questionnaire information. Organized and stored as the Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS) with the integration of multimodal electrophysiology data. Directly readable by data-analysis software with Brainstorm. OMEGA will continue to expand, with contributions from the scientific community.

ConfGen (tool)

RRID:SCR_023928

Software conformational search method for efficient generation of bioactive conformers. Used for generating conformations for ligand-based virtual screening in molecular modeling and in drug discovery. Schrödinger has completely rewritten the ConfGen application for producing diverse, low-energy 3D structures of compounds and to improve recovery of bioactive conformations among generated conformers and drastically speed conformer generation.
