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
