G Protein-coupled Receptor Modeling Service

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), a class of membrane proteins that play critical roles in many physiological processes, are a prime target for drug discovery. The intricate nature of GPCRs requires sophisticated modeling techniques to unravel their structural and functional complexity, thereby facilitating innovation in drug design and development. At CD ComputaBio, we are committed to advancing the frontiers of GPCR modeling, offering a suite of tailored services to accelerate the drug discovery and development process.

Methods for GPCR Modeling

Protein-Ligand Docking

A combination of rigid and flexible docking methods is utilized to generate accurate models of the protein-ligand complex. The interactions between the GPCRs and ligands or the drug molecules are essential for understanding their function.

Pathway Analysis

To comprehensively understand GPCRs' role in various diseases, we analyze their signal transduction pathways using advanced bioinformatics tools. A combination of rigid and flexible docking methods generates accurate models of the protein-ligand complex. Advanced bioinformatics tools and databases are used to analyze the complex signal transduction pathways of GPCRs.

Rigorous Molecular Dynamics Simulations

The foundation of our GPCR modeling services rests on the application of molecular dynamics simulations, utilizing force field parameters, ensemble sampling techniques, and trajectory analysis to unravel the dynamic behavior.
