Insights into molecular recognition through analysis of x-ray crystallographic databases

Objective



A deeper appreciation of the nature of molecular interactions between a protein and a ligand would potentially improve the ability of chemists to design drugs. Information about molecular interactions can be obtained from X-ray structures, the number of which has increased rapidly over the past few years. It is therefore proposed to carry out a detailed analysis of the X-ray structures contained within various databases and in particular the Cambridge Structural Database. It is anticipated that this will result in the identification of a number of novel interactions as well as providing a more comprehensive description of well established interactions. Once identified, information about these interactions will be incorporated into a user friendly, relational database with the aim of facilitating the consideration of such information by medicinal chemists in designing novel ligands for proteinaceous enzymes and receptors, for potential use in therapy.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.
