Computational Perspectives into Plasmepsins Structure—Function Relationship: Implications to Inhibitors Design by Alejandro Gil L., Pedro A. Valiente, Pedro G. Pascutti, Tirso Pons

“…The high structural flexibility of plasmepsins, revealed by their X-ray structures and molecular dynamics simulations, made even more complicated the prediction of putative binding modes, and therefore, the use of common computational tools, like docking and free-energy calculations. In this review, we revised the computational strategies utilized so far, for the structure-function relationship studies concerning the plasmepsin family, with special focus on the recent advances in the improvement of the linear interaction estimation (LIE) method, which is one of the most successful methodologies in the evaluation of plasmepsin-inhibitor binding affinity.…”
