Study Notes
Pharmacophore Mapping Methods for Molecule Conformations
- DISCO program utilizes clique detection to generate low-energy conformations for each molecule
- Reference molecule with the fewest conformations is chosen, and its conformations are compared to those of other molecules
- Common pharmacophores are identified through cliques common to all molecules
- Catalyst/HipHop uses the maximum likelihood method for pharmacophore mapping
- The poling method generates a small set of conformations covering pharmacophore space
- All possible combinations of pharmacophoric groups are exhaustively generated
- Hypotheses well-matched by active molecules but less likely to be matched by arbitrary molecules are given higher scores
- The scoring function used involves the number of active molecules in the set and the number of pharmacophoric groups in the hypothesis
- Genetic algorithms (GAs) are used for pharmacophore mapping, based on models of Darwinian evolution
- GASP uses a chromosome consisting of bitstrings and integer strings to represent molecules and their mappings
- The fitness function is dependent on the number and similarity of overlaid features, volume integral, and van der Waals energy
- Genetic operators crossover and mutation are applied to generate new members of the population
