Date de parution:15/07/2003Date limite de réponse:?
Lieu:Sophia-Antipolis (France)Statut:PostdocSecteur:public
Description de l'annonce:
Two of the most prominent challenges of the the post-genomic era are to understand the molecular machinery of the cell and to develop new drug design strategies. These key challenges require the determination, understanding and exploitation of the three-dimensional structure of several classes of molecules ---nucleic acids, proteins, drugs---, as well as the elucidation of the interaction mechanisms between these molecules. Most importantly, these challenges involve aspects from biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics and computer science.

Building upon a long and recognized experience in Computational
Geometry and applications, the Geometrica group (formerly Prisme)
(http://www-sop.inria.fr/prisme/index.html.en) is launching a research activity in Bio-Geometry ---the geometric component of the afore-mentioned challenges.

Along this line, a one year Post-Doc position starting Fall 2003
(October / November / December) is now opened. Its primary focus will be docking ---protein-protein as well as protein-ligand, with potential applications to folding. For these reasons, we encourage the application of:

-Bio-(physicists, chemists) with a background in structural biology and an inclination for geometry.

-Computer scientists with a background in algorithms design and
analysis or computational geometry, and interests in molecular
modeling.

Modelisation microscopique et optimisation des proprietes de molecules d’interet pharmaceutique :
complementarite avec des etudes experimentales

Plusieurs molecules d’interet pharmaceutique, ayant une action
anti-tumorale reconnue, ont fait l’objet d’etudes structurales poussees. Par exemple le busulfan a ete etudie au laboratoire SPMS, sous la responsabilite de N. Ghermani. Cette molecule, et d’autres, ont pu etre cristallisees, et etudiees par diffraction X haute resolution : ceci a permis une analyse detaillee de la densite electronique(1).
La comprehension du comportement alkylant d’une telle molecule au niveau de l’ADN ou des cellules necessite une analyse theorique poussee.
Cette molecule est par ailleurs tres active, et des etudes sont en cours pour en empecher la cristallisation en milieu biologique, cause reconnue de deces. Il s’agit essentiellement d’encapsuler des molecules, tout en maintenant la reconnaissance des sites d’action bio-chimique.
En dehors du travail primordial de pharmaco-technie, il apparait
important de comprendre par voie theorique puis de controler par modelisation les mecanismes microscopiques qui sont en jeu. Cet objectif est commun a de nombreuses molecules vectorisees par des nano-particules pharmacologiques.
Les grandes phases du travail de these seraient les suivantes :
1. Etude theorique de la molecule de busulfan (et aussi d’autres
molecules presentant la meme problematique de forte cristallisation) et comparaison avec les
resultats experimentaux .
Modelisation de l’interaction molecule-ADN.
2. Modelisation des forces de cohesion qui favorisent la
cristallisation. Cette phase fera largement appel a la description d’un solide en termes de « clusters ».
3. Description des interactions dans une molecule en capsulee dans un vecteur ou une nano-particule. Dans cette phase, a la fois l’approche par cluster et la modelisation conformationnelle developpees ces dernieres annees seront importantes.

Ce travail trouvera un prolongement sur des objectifs plus larges :
4. Modelisation des interactions entre nanoparticules.
5 . Modelisation de l’interaction complexe-site actif.

Un tel projet s’inscrit directement dans la ligne des travaux developpes au niveau theorique dans l’UMR ces dernieres annees, ainsi que dans l’operation scientifique « materiaux d’interet pharmaceutique », mixte UFR de Pharmacie / ECP. Il permettrait un pont avec une operation scientifique prioritaire actuelle. Il est certain que l’etude ne peut avancer que par une interaction permanente entre des composantes pharmacotechnique, structurale et theorique.

Le directeur de these serait Jean Michel Gillet, soutenu en co-direction par Nour Eddine Ghermani d’une part (pour les aspects biochimique et structural) et Pierre Becker d’autre part (concernant la reflexion sur les modeles a mettre en œuvre)

A noter enfin qu’une telle collaboration, si elle est un succes, peut deboucher sur des applications a terme mettant en jeu des grands groupes pharmaceutiques.

Titre de la these :

"Etude structurale du complexe MARS (Multi-Aminoacyl-tRNA Synthetase) par cryomicroscopie electronique tridimensionnelle et modelisation moleculaire."

Presentation du Sujet

Contenu scientifique du programme de la these:

Les aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (ARS) de procaryotes existent a l'etat isole, et leur structure moleculaire a ete intensivement etudiee par cristallographie X. Chez les eucaryotes superieurs, certaines ARS sont regroupees sous forme de complexes multi-enzymatiques dont la structure et la fonction sont encore mal comprises. On rencontre chez les mammiferes un complexe forme de neuf ARS (Asp- Lys- Arg- Gln- Met- Leu- Ile- et GluPro-RS dont les masses moleculaires varient de 56 a 163kDa), et de trois peptide s de soutien denommes p43, p38, et p18. L'architecture et la structure moleculaire de ce complexe de 1 mega-daltons fait l'objet de la these.

Pour le stage de la formation doctorale, l'etude structurale du complexe multi-ARS sera poursuivie en suivant deux axes :

- 1 - Localisation des composants du complexe en utilisant des marqueurs specifiques

La reconstitution 3D et la localisation des composants intrinseques de ce complexe seront realises sur du complexe isole dans le laboratoire du Dr Marc Mirande (LEBS, Gif-sur-Yvette) en utilisant des marquages specifiques avec les fragments Fab d'anticorps mono-clonaux.
Une approche similaire mais utilisant des tRNA purifies et marques a l'or (Nanoprobe Inc.) est egalement envisagee en collaboration avec le Pr Mona T. Norcum (University of Mississippi).
D'autre part, le Dr. Mirande procedera a une exploration de la
biosynthese des proteines chez l'homme par approche proteomique du type " Tag-Tag " qui utilise un double crible de selection.
Les proteines seront exprimees par des plasmides permettant l'insertion des peptides appats [Proteine A] et [peptide liant la calmoduline]. (Cibles: 9 ARS + P18, P38, P43 + sous-unites du complexe EF1B +ValRS ; Systeme d'expression: cellules humaines HeLa). Les complexes solubles purifies seront observes et reconstruits par l'etudiant en utilisant les techniques de cryomicroscopie electronique et analyse d'images. La comparaison des volumes de reconstruction 3D obtenus avec les images du complexe Multi-ARS marque et nu permettra de localiser chaque type d'enzyme et de mettre en evidence les composantes du complexe impliques dans des interactions avec des proteines extrinseques au complexe.

- 2 - Modelisation moleculaire des ARS de mammifere et recalage des donnees de cryoMET 3D

La structure des enzymes procaryotes homologues a celles impliquees dans le complexe MARS sont disponibles dans la PDB. A l'aide de la technique dite "Hydrophobic Cluster Analysis" developpee au LMCP par Jean-Paul Mornon et Isabelle Callebaut [4], l'etudiant realisera des modeles moleculaires de chaque constituants et les positionnera entre eux pour former un modele du complexe global.

We are looking for individuals with an exceptionally distinguished history of academic and/or industrial accomplishment to join our efforts to fundamentally transform the process of drug discovery.Candidates should have world-class credentials in computational chemistry, biology, or physics,
or in a relevant area of computer science or applied mathematics, and must have unusually strong research and software engineering skills.
Relevant areas of experience might include the computation of
protein-ligand binding free energies, molecular dynamics and/or Monte Carlo simulations of biomolecular systems, application of statistical mechanics to biomolecular systems, free energy perturbation methods, and methods for speeding up evaluation of
electrostatic energies -- but specific knowledge of any of these areas is less critical than exceptional intellectual ability and a demonstrated track record of achievement. Current areas of activity for the firm include structure- and ligand-based drug design, protein structure determination through homology modeling, molecular mechanics force field development, de novo drug design algorithms, and the development of special-purpose hardware to accelerate computational chemistry simulations.We are eager to add both senior- and junior-level members to our world-class team (including at least one group head with

Description de l'annonce:
Titre: Post-Doctorat au CEA Saclay: Simulation moléculaire du transporteurABC bactérien MsbA inséré dans une membrane en vue de modéliser l'action de la Pgp

Présentation du laboratoire:
Le stage se déroulera au Service de Biophysique des Fonctions Membranaires (DBJC / DSV), dans le cadre d'une collaboration entre le Laboratoire de Biophysique des Protéines et des Membranes et le Laboratoire de Transport Membranaire et Détoxication, au Centre d'Etudes de Saclay (91).

Description de la mission proposée:
La P-glycoprotéine (P-gp) est un transporteur membranaire actif de détoxication cellulaire appartenant à la grande famille ABC ("ATP Binding Cassette"). Remarquablement multispécifique, la P-gp transporte de nombreux xénobiotiques amphiphiles, et nous venons de montrer qu'elle transporte un lipide membranaire, le cholestérol, vers le feuillet externe de la membrane. La protéine MsbA, transporteur ABC bactérien homodimérique, est très proche de la P-gp en terme d'homologie de séquences. C'est aussi un bon homologue fonctionnel de la P-gp puisqu'elle transporte un lipide létal pour la bactérie.
Une structure à haute résolution de MsbA vient d'être publiée. La forme très particulière, "en V" fortement ouvert, du dimère de MsbA est atypique pour une protéine membranaire, et pose le problème de la distribution des lipides autour de la protéine. Déterminer cette distribution permettrait d'avancer vers la compréhension des mécanismes de transport de la MsbA, mais aussi de la P-gp. Seule la simulation moléculaire est actuellement en mesure de fournir une telle information. Nous nous proposons donc d'obtenirpar simulation moléculaire un modèle du système MsbA-membrane, permettant en premier lieu de décrire l'interfacep rotéine-lipide, puis de localiser le site de liaison de son substrat physiologique. L'objectif est de proposer un mécanisme de transport pour ces transporteurs ABC. Ce travail sera effectué en collaboration avec notre équipe de simulation moléculaire.

Formation et profil requis:
Solide bagage en simulation moléculaire des protéines, avec utilisation des programmes CHARMM (de préférence), ou AMBER, ou GROMACS; bonne connaissance des protéines (plus particulièrement celles associées aux systèmes membranaires) permettant ultérieurement d'aborder la problématique de la modélisation par homologie.

Informations générales:
Le poste est à pourvoir dès maintenant et avant le 15/12/03. Le contrat proposé est un CDD de 1 an renouvelable une fois.

Lieu de travail: Centre d'Etudes de Saclay (RER Le Guichet, près d'Orsay).

Lieu:Worcester (Etats-Unis)Statut:PostdocSecteur:public
Description de l'annonce:
A postdoctoral position is immediately available in the group of Rafael Bruschweiler at Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts, in the following areas :

1. Development and application of new methods for the rapid determination of protein structures by NMR. This research involves measurement of a variety of NMR parameters and their use in molecular modeling and database methods for the efficient reconstruction of 3D protein structures with application to structural genomics. A related project focuses on the development of new approaches to resonance assignment of proteins with known or homologous structure to assist efforts in high-throughput drug screening.

2. Characterization of side-chain and backbone dynamics of folded and nonfolded proteins by heteronuclear spin relaxation, residual dipolar couplings, and computer simulations.

Dynamique interne de Biomolécules
Grâce à l'utilisation de nouvelles méthodes spectroscopiques de RMN récemment développées au Laboratoire, nous pouvons caractériser les mouvements internes de biomolécules telles que les protéines et leurs complexes. Il est possible de localiser ces mouvements, et notamment de distinguer la mobilité du squelette d'une protéine de celle des chaînes latérales des acides aminés. Nous voulons aussi caractériser les échelles de temps de ces mouvements, qui varient des picosecondes jusqu'aux microsecondes.

06/08/2002[MM]Contribution à l'annotation structurale du génome de Botrytis cinerea

Description de l'annonce:
Introduction:
Le séquençage de chaque nouveau génome révèle de nombreuses "orfs" dont la fonction ne peut être déterminée (séquence orphelines). Nous nous proposons d'améliorer les méthodes de reconnaissance de repliements qui peuvent, en association avec des méthodes "humides", permettre d'attribuer une fonction aux séquences orphelines avec plus de sensibilité que PSIBLAST. Nous comptons appliquer ces méthodes dans le cadre de l'annotation de Botrytis cinerea, dont le séquençage est prévu pour 2003. Responsable en particulier de la "pourriture grise" sur la vigne, ce champignon est un phytopathogène nécrotrophe à large spectre d'hôte. Ce caractère d'adaptabilité à l'hôte laisse présager des fonctions non encore identifiées dans les génomes déjà séquencés de levures et de filamenteux. En parallèle, avec les mêmes méthodes, nous nous intéresserons aux duplications structurales.

Projet:
Les techniques de reconnaissance de repliement par une séquence (« threading ») consistent à mesurer la "compatibilité" d'une séquence de structure inconnue avec toutes les structures protéiques connues, représentées sous formes de "cœurs". Elles nécessitent des techniques de détermination des structures conservées [5,6] dans les familles structurales de protéines afin de constituer la base de "cœurs" structuraux : un cœur est un modèle caractérisant une famille structurale. Ces techniques peuvent fournir des modèles 3D de "travail", utiles dans le domaine de l'enzymologie, mais elles sont surtout de plus en plus utilisées à des fins d'annotation de séquences inconnues, car elles permettent de repérer des similarités qui ne sont pas détectées par les méthodes utilisant seulement l'information de séquence comme BLAST, PSIBLAST ou FASTA. On pourrait parler d'annotation "structurale". Par exemple, sur le génome de Bacillus Subtilis, dans les gènes classés comme orphelins (22% du total des gènes), on peut trouver un repliement similaire à une protéine de structure connue chez 42% de ces orphelins.
Nous nous fixons pour buts :
1) d'améliorer la reconnaissance de repliement en développant des programmes de détection de sous-structures communes à plusieurs structures protéiques, afin de redéfinir de manière plus adéquate les "cœurs" de la PDB qui sont utilisés dans les programmes de reconnaissance de repliement (nous développons actuellement un tel programme en collaboration avec A. Marin et J-F. Gibrat, équipe MIG- INRA Versailles[1]).
2) d'appliquer ces méthodes :
2a) pour l'annotation des gènes orphelins de Botrytis cinerea.
2b) pour l'obtention d'un modèle 3D [2,4] de protéines à activité pectinolytique (un travail préliminaire sur ces familles de protéines a été initié en DEA dans l'équipe)
3) d'examiner à l'aide de ces outils de détection de répétitions structurales, les répétitions internes des structures de protéines connues. De manière complémentaire, nous voulons évaluer si les motifs (en séquences) approximativement répétés dans les mêmes gènes [3] présentent des particularités structurales et fonctionnelles, en examinant les structures de protéines connues par cristallographie ou déterminées par reconnaissance de repliement.

Annexe:
Nous avons participé au Programme "Relations séquence - structure des protéines, entre gènes et fonctions" dans le cadre de l'action Génome du CNRS (1998-2000) pour le "Développement d'une nouvelle fonction et évaluation statistique pour les techniques de reconnaissance de repliements".
Nous sommes aussi partie prenante dans deux projets acceptés en cours dans le cadre de l'action "Programme Bio-informatique inter-EPST" CNRS, INSERM, INRA, INRIA, Ministère de la Recherche, (2001-2002).

Studentship
School of Information Systems

Applications are invited for a PhD in Bioinformatics/Computational Biochemistry at the University of East Anglia. The postholder will undertake research on the EPSRC project "Understanding Protein Domain Motions through Simulation with a Focus on Citrate Synthase". The supervisor will be Dr Steven Hayward.

Background
Proteins are molecular machines designed to carry out specific tasks. For a large number of proteins, their structure and function is known, but the key question remains largely unanswered: what is the relationship between structure and function? The study of protein dynamical behavior will provide the answer to this question, but experimental techniques do not gives us a complete picture of the processes occurring at the atomic level. The computational technique of molecular dynamics simulation presents an atomic level description of protein dynamical behavior and has recently provided us with some important insights [1].

The aim of the project will be to understand the detailed mechanisms of domain closure in enzymes by making comparisons between experimentally determined functional movements in domain proteins and results from molecular dynamics simulations. The project will utilise information stored in the new DynDom database of protein domain movements (see http://www.sys.uea.ac.uk/dyndom ) which is being developed in a bioinformatics approach to understanding and predicting functional movements in proteins[2]. The research project will build upon our recent simulation study of the enzyme citrate synthase[3].

17/07/2002[MM]Enhancing Molecular Docking Through High-Performance Computing and Advanced Visualization

Lieu:Nancy (France)Statut:PostdocSecteur:public
Description de l'annonce:
We have an opening for a post-doctoral fellow for up to 2 years, commencing september/october 2002 or later, to work on:

Enhancing Molecular Docking Through High-Performance Computing and Advanced Visualization Molecular docking is the natural process by which molecules recognize and interact with one another. From a computational standpoint, it also refers to the prediction of the structures of ligand-receptor complexes from the conformations of unbound ligand and unbound receptor. Molecular docking is at the center of such practical applications as protein engineering and drug design. It has already helped to design new ligands for anti-AIDS and anti-cancer agents and for the treatment of diabetes.

Structure-based molecular docking programs are based on the assumption that ligands which form favorable interactions with the receptor must have high binding affinity. They rely on the number-crunching capabilities of computers to generate and evaluate large numbers of possible bindings. Computers however do not have the experience of human beings and molecular docking methods severely limit the biochemists' ability to analyze the bindings computed and exploit their intuition and expertise to generate sound and reliable solutions. Also, most approaches to molecular docking do not take advantage of the visualization capabilities offered by modern workstations.

Major challenges in this field are (1) predicting how molecules will dock with one another and (2) identifying the factors that determine the specificity of interaction. To make significant advances, it is necessary to develop novel methods to facilitate the docking techniques by enhancing our ability to understand and analyze docking interactions and to develop hypotheses about which molecules are most likely to interact favorably. These factors can be incorporated into molecular docking by including advanced visualization and haptic (sense of touch) feedback in the process.

The main goal of this project is to develop an immersive, interactive and easy-to-use modelling environment to enhance molecular docking. The candidate will have at its disposal the state-of-the-art SGI high-performance computing technologies available at LORIA, notably the Reality Center immersive visualization facility and the Onyx 3800
shared-memory system platform.

In particular, the postdoctoral candidate is expected:
- To integrate existing molecular docking programs with the LORIA collaborative computing environment.
- To implement a haptic interface to facilitate interaction with molecular models, through a high-fidelity, 3D force-feedback device.
- To combine visualization and haptic feedback to allow interactive docking simulations in the Reality Center.
- To develop a multimodal user interface to facilitate the work of molecular scientists.

The successful candidate will have a solid background in SGI graphics software and architecture. He is also expected to have a working knowledge of programming and scripting languages such as Java, Perl and TCL/TK.Candidates having experience in parallel computing and/or grid computing will be given priority.

Salary will be approximately 21400 euros per annum. There are no restrictions on the nationality of the applicant.

Searching Small Molecule 3D Databases using Spherical Polar Fourier Correlations
Department of Computing Science

An EPSRC-funded PhD studentship is available for a period of three years, starting in April 2002.

One of the key challenges in the pharmaceutical industry is to identify potential drug molecules. A number of chemical databases exists which contain several hundred thousand three-dimensional molecular structures. We believe this wealth of structural information could be better exploited by using improved methods of searching for similar three-dimensional structures and sub-structures.


The aim of this project is to apply and extend our successful spherical polar Fourier correlation technique for protein docking (see http://www.csd.abdn.ac.uk/~dritchie) to the molecular similarity problem domain, in order to develop a new computational method of searching chemical structure databases for novel pharmacological molecules.

Candidates should have, or expect to obtain, a first or upper second class degree in one of the physical sciences and should have an interest in scientific programming. Applications from biological scientists with strong computing skills will also be welcomed.

The studentship provides a maintenance grant of £8000 per annum (tax free), and includes all tuition fees for UK/EU students. Non-EU students may also apply, but would be expected to provide the difference between international and UK tuition fee rates.


Contacts:Applicants should send completed application forms (available at: http://www.csd.abdn.ac.uk/pgstudy) along with a detailed CV to Dr Dave Ritchie, Computing Science Department, University of Aberdeen, Aberdeen AB24 3UE, Scotland, UK.

Description du sujet :

Une application importante de la bioinformatique concerne la recherche de
nouveaux membres d'une famille de protéines connues.
Une technique classique procède par la découverte de motifs conservés
dans cette famille, puis par l'interrogation de bases de données pour
l'identification de gènes putatifs homologues à ce motif. Cette technique
devient assez aléatoire lorsque la famille de protéines est très large et
que les motifs y sont peu conservés. Cette approche, basée uniquement sur
la structure primaire des protéines, étant insatisfaisante, nous envisageons
de nous pencher sur la structure secondaire qui est bien identifiée dans le
cas des cytokines. Nous savons en effet qu'elle est caractérisée par quatre
hélices alpha de tailles et de positions comparables au sein de la séquence
protéique. L'idée est donc de modéliser la famille de protéines par une
connaissance multi-niveaux, intégrant les aspects primaires et secondaires.
Cette étude nécessite donc d'extraire les paramètres les plus représentatifs
d'une famille de protéines, en utilisant les algorithmes de découverte de
motifs et de prédiction de structures secondaires. En second lieu, il s'agit
de développer des techniques d'extraction de connaissances pour trouver les
règles de caractérisation les plus pertinentes de cette famille. La finalité
de ce travail est de pouvoir prédire l'appartenance d'une protéine à la
famille modélisée, en se basant sur des indices de niveau primaire
(succession de motifs de petites tailles dans la séquence) et de niveau
secondaire (présence d'hélices alpha à des positions similaires). On
utilisera les éléments connus de la famille pour tester cette approche,
en découpant la famille en deux jeux ; un jeu de références et un jeu de test.
Ce travail s'intègre dans un effort de développement d'un outil d'aide
à l'identification de nouveaux membres (requêtes automatiques, assemblage
et analyse de cadres ouverts de lecture).

Description de l'annonce:
Profils : deux bourses de thèses à pourvoir. Contexte scientifique : Bioinformatique et Génome.
Les candidats concernés, titulaires d'un DEA, peuvent être soit : - des informaticiens intéressés par la biologie, - des biologistes
désirant se tourner vers la bioinformatique. Ils doivent dans tous les cas avoir envie de développer leurs connaissances à l'interface
entre l'informatique et la biologie. Les candidats pourront en conséquence avoir une formation de physicien, de chimiste,
d'informaticien ou de biologiste.
Ils travailleront dans un environnement spécialisé dans les domaines proposés et bénéficieront d'un important soutien scientifique et
technique.
Deux projets sont proposés :
- Le premier projet porte sur l'étude des gènes codant pour des ARNs. De nombreux ARNs non codant restent à découvrir. Les ARNs
fonctionnels échappent encore à la grande majorité des techniques de criblage, aussi bien théoriques qu'expérimentales. Un des
objectifs de ce projet sera donc
de créer, de tester et de promouvoir des outils de détection, de représentation et de calcul d'ARNs non-codant dans les séquences
disponibles et les génomes séquencés.
- Le deuxième projet porte sur l'analyse de famille de protéines à très forts potentiels thérapeutiques tels les récepteurs nucléaires ou
les récepteurs couplés aux protéines G. Un appel important sera fait, dans le cadre du travail proposé, aux outils informatiques de
modélisation moléculaire et de génomique prédictive. Dans ce contexte le candidat sera appelé à utiliser les outils de la
bioinformatique disponibles mais aussi
et surtout à faire progresser les méthodes et/ou les logiciels.

Résumé du projet de recherche: Ce travail de thèse se déroulera en deux parties distinctes, la première (12 mois) vise a automatiser
une procédure de docking par consensus, la seconde (24 mois) consistant a implémenter six nouvelles fonctions d'évaluation dans trois
logiciels de docking.
a) Docking par consensus.
- Ecriture d'une interface graphique (HTML ou Tcl/Tk) pour générer les fichier entrée/sortie.
- Analyse des 30 meilleures poses trouvées par chaque outil (Dock, FlexX, Gold) et clustering des poses par famille (écart
quadratique moyen des coordonnées cartésiennes des atomes lourds)
- Détermination d'un représentant par famille (meilleure énergie d'interaction)
- Etablissement d'une liste propre à chaque outil de docking (classification par énergie d'interaction)
- Détermination de la "meilleure" famille commune aux trois logiciels.
- Comparaison de la pose commune proposée à la pose cristallographique.
Cette procédure devra être automatisée et appliquée à un certain nombre de complexes proteine-ligand pour lesquels aucun des trois
outils de docking, utilisé
séparément, ne propose la pose cristallographique en tête de liste.

b) Evaluation des interactions proteine-ligand par consensus.
Le logiciel Dock4.0 pour lequel nous disposons du code source sera modifié de façon implémenter six fonctions d'évaluation
additionnelles (Chemscore,
FlexX, Gold, Fresno, Pmf, Score). La décomposition de l'énergie d'interaction propre à chaque fonction a déjà été publiée et peut donc
être reproduite. La
modification du code source de la version 4.0 de DOCK se fera en deux étapes:
- implémentation des six fonctions d'évaluation et des paramètres correspondant (en langage fortran et C)
- validation des scores proposés par comparaison avec les scores originaux déjà publiés.
Une implémentation identique dans les programmes FlexX et Gold sera prévue ultérieurement en fonction des résultats obtenus avec la
version modifiée de
Dock.

Infrastructure
Le laboratoire de Pharmacochimie Moléculaire (UMR CNRS/ULP 7083) met a disposition un réseau de 5 stations de travail Silicon
Graphics O2 articulé
autour d'un serveur de type Origin 200 bi-processeur. L'ensemble des programmes de criblage virtuel et de docking automatique
(AutoDock, Dock, FlexX,
Gold) ainsi que de graphique moléculaire (Sybyl) nécessaire à la réalisation de ce travail est également disponible.
