Abstract

In this study, homology modeling, molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation were performed to explore structural features and binding mechanism of some inhibitors of chemokine receptor type 5 (CCR5), and to construct a model for designing new CCR5 inhibitors for preventing HIV attachment to the host cell. A homology modeling procedure was employed to construct a 3D model of CCR5. For this procedure, the X-ray crystal structure of bovine rhodopsin (1F88A) at 2.80 A resolution was used as template. After inserting the constructed model into a hydrated lipid bilayer, a 20 ns molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was performed on the whole system. After reaching the equilibrium, twenty-four CCR5 inhibitors were docked in the active site of the obtained model. The binding models of the investigated antagonists indicate the mechanism of binding of the studied compounds to the CCR5 obviously. Moreover, 3D pictures of inhibitor-protein complex provided precious data regarding the binding orientation of each antagonist into the active site of this protein. One additional 20 ns MD simulation was performed on the initial structure of the CCR5-ligand 21 complex, resulted from the previous docking calculations, embedded in a hydrated POPE bilayer to explore the effects of the presence of lipid bilayer in the vicinity of CCR5-ligand complex.
