A rational approach is needed to maximize the chances of finding new drugs, and to exploit the opportunities of potential new drug targets emerging from genomic and proteomic initiatives, and from the large libraries of small compounds now readily available through combinatorial chemistry. Despite a

d-Dendrotoxin, isolated from mamba snake venom, has 57 residues cross-linked by three disulfide bridges. The protein shares a pharmacological activity with other animal toxins, the potent blockade of potassium channels, but is structurally unrelated to toxins of different species. We employed alanin
## Abstract The hERG potassium channel has recently been a matter of extensive studies both at experimental and computational levels, because of its possible involvement in the potentially lethal drugโinduced long QT syndrome. In this context, in the absence of an experimentally determined 3D struc
In this paper, a method of simulating the docking of small flexible ligands to flexible receptors in water is reported. The method is based on molecular dynamics simulations and is an extension of an algorithm previously reported by Di Nola et al. (Di Nola et al., Proteins 1994;19:174-182). The meth
