Dissecting Key Multivalent Processes in Glycosidase Inhibition: Insights from Thermodynamic Modelling and Atomistic Simulations
Spichty, M.
Show abstract
Multivalency represents a powerful approach to increase the inhibition potency of moderate glycosidase inhibitors. Regarding the key role of catalytic glycoside hydrolysis in biology, understanding the molecular mechanisms and origin of the multivalent inhibitory effect is of great interest and presents a fascinating playground for theoretical studies. Our teams have recently dissected key processes of multivalent glycosidase inhibition through the use of different neoglycoclusters based on deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) inhitopes and a cyclopeptoid scaffold. This companion article details the theoretical aspects of this former study. A thermodynamic model is developed and validated, compared to literature, and extended to account for particularities of the charged DNJ inhitopes.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
