Study Notes
❑ Computational Chemistry is used to determine the position of a molecule in a receptor and calculate various molecular properties. ❑ Two main methods used in Computational Chemistry: Quantum Mechanics and Molecular Mechanics. ❑ Quantum Mechanics (ab initio or semiempirical) is based on the Schrödinger equation and is used for accurate calculations but resource-intensive. ❑ Molecular Mechanics uses simple empirical approximations of atomic and molecular interactions, treating molecules as balls connected by springs, and is faster but less accurate. ❑ Computational Chemistry can be used to calculate properties of drugs and receptors, including drug-receptor interaction energies and molecular dynamics simulations. ❑ To calculate properties of a molecule, the software optimizes the molecular structure, calculates energy and properties, and presents the minimum energy conformation. ❑ Molecular dynamics simulations are used to simulate molecular behavior, breaking down motion into atomic movements, calculating velocities and forces, and tracking atomic positions and velocities. ❑ Simulations should have small enough time steps to correctly simulate fast atomic motions and overcome energy barriers. ❑ Temperature is expressed in terms of atomic velocities and simulations can be run at high temperatures to overcome energy barriers. ❑ Typical molecular dynamics studies involve building a protein model, adding a ligand, immersing it in a water box, performing energy minimization, heating the system, and calculating properties for several weeks of computer time. ❑ Virtual drug screening techniques (chemoinformatics) use methods such as docking, QSAR, and pharmacophore-based methods to deal with massive amounts of molecules for their biological behavior, balancing accuracy and time.
