Integrating structure- and ligand-based modeling in drug discovery

Abstract
Most drugs are small molecules that act by binding to proteins and thereby influencing their function. Computational approaches for modeling interactions between small molecule ligands and proteins promise to make drug discovery more efficient and enable the design of unprecedented therapeutics. Existing approaches can be categorized into two groups based on the kind of information they use about the target protein: the 3D structure of the target or experimental measurements of the activities of other small molecules at the target. I present a series of novel methods that synergistically integrate these two sorts of information, providing better predictions than is possible with either alone. I also describe how we used structural modeling in combination with experimental measurements to understand molecular mechanisms determining the safety profiles of opioid drugs.
