2023 journal article

Towards an optimal monoclonal antibody with higher binding affinity to the receptor-binding domain of SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins from different variants

COLLOIDS AND SURFACES B-BIOINTERFACES, 221.

author keywords: COVID-19; Molecular dynamics; Coarse -grain simulation; Constant -pH Monte Carlo; Multiscale protocol; Electrostatic interactions
MeSH headings : Humans; Spike Glycoprotein, Coronavirus / genetics; SARS-CoV-2; COVID-19; Antibodies, Monoclonal; Edible Grain
TL;DR: Although the SARS-CoV-2 was specifically targeted in this work, the approach is generally suitable for many diseases and viral and bacterial pathogens, leukemia, cancer, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid, arthritis, lupus, and more. (via Semantic Scholar)

2022 article

Differences between Omicron SARS-CoV-2 RBD and other variants in their ability to interact with cell receptors and monoclonal antibodies

Giron, C. C., Laaksonen, A., & Silva, F. L. (2022, June 27). JOURNAL OF BIOMOLECULAR STRUCTURE & DYNAMICS.

author keywords: Protein-protein interactions; host-pathogen interaction; ACE2 polymorphism; molecular recognition; antibody; development; binding affinities; Covid-19; Monte Carlo
TL;DR: This work aims to expand the knowledge about the SARS-CoV-2 receptor-binding domain (RBD) interactions with cell receptors and monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and found these mAbs and especially their combination are amenable to experimentation and clinical trials because of their high binding affinities and neutralization potential for current known virus mutations and a universal coronavirus.

Self-association features of NS1 proteins from different flaviviruses

VIRUS RESEARCH, 318.

author keywords: Protein -protein interaction; Free energy; Non-structural protein 1; pH; Monte Carlo simulations

2021 journal article

How the Strain Origin of Zika Virus NS1 Protein Impacts Its Dynamics and Implications to Their Differential Virulence

JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL INFORMATION AND MODELING, 61(3), 1516–1530.

MeSH headings : Humans; Viral Nonstructural Proteins; Virulence; Zika Virus; Zika Virus Infection
TL;DR: This work has used a computational approach to explore the dynamical properties of the nonstructural protein 1 from two strains of Zika virus and shows that despite a high sequence similarity, the two viral proteins from different origins can exhibit significant dissimilar structural dynamics, which complement their reported differential virulence.

Identification of Electrostatic Epitopes in Flavivirus by Computer Simulations: The PROCEEDpKa Method

JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL INFORMATION AND MODELING, 60(2), 944–963.

MeSH headings : Antibodies, Viral / chemistry; Antibodies, Viral / immunology; Epitopes / chemistry; Epitopes / immunology; Flavivirus / immunology; Models, Molecular; Monte Carlo Method; Protein Conformation; Static Electricity
TL;DR: It is found that it is possible to predict antigenic epitopes reproducing the interfaces as defined by the X-ray structure, and this opens up an important discussion about what are termed here "electrostatic epitopes" and how they work as an important reference in the paratope-epitope interaction for viral systems.
