Our webinar on MOLECULAR DYNAMICS SIMULATIONS ANALYSIS WITH MOLECULAR PROBES was held twice on 23rd of September 2020. Now you can watch the recorded video published on our YouTube channel.
AQUA-DUCT was used to study inhibitors of the 5-LOX – a non-heme iron containing dioxygease. The study were published in the Journal of Biomolecular Structure and Dynamics.
The AQUA-DUCT software was describe in details in recent review: Dynamics, a Powerful Component of Current and Future in Silico Approaches for Protein Design and Engineering, Int. J. Mol. Sci.2020, 21(8), 2713. More you can find here
An interesting study has been just published in Journal of Biological Chemistry aiming to investigate differences between OTUB1 and OTUB2 that may be relevant for the selective design of ovarian tumor domain deubiquitinylating cysteine proteases inhibitors. We are happy that our software could help to find significant differences. More details here.
The SUMMER SCHOOL OF MOLECULAR DYNAMIC SIMULATIONS ANALYSIS WITH MOLECULAR PROBES is postpone due to COVID-19 pandemic. We will keep you updated. We are planning to set new deadlines and schedules for the event. Preliminary, the REGISTRATION deadline is set on 1.07.2020 and the SUMMER SCHOOL will take place in October.
“Applications of water molecules for analysis of macromolecule properties” provides more examples how the water molecule can/should be considered in your study.

The picture of the results of AQUA-DUCT analysis were selected for recent cover of Bioinformatic issues! SEE MORE COVER story: Cupin-type phosphoglucose isomerase (PfPGI) from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrococcus furiosus catalyzes the reversible isomerization of glucose-6-phosphate to fructose-6-phosphate. Using a 3DM-based bioinformatics approach, a pair of amino acids in the periphery of the PfPGI structure was found to…
The AQUA-DUCT was used to study Hyperthermophilic Pyrococcus furiosus Phosphoglucose Isomerase. Recent paper was published in Biomolecules 2019, 9(6), 212. The cupin-type phosphoglucose isomerase (PfPGI) from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrococcus furiosuscatalyzes the reversible isomerization of glucose-6-phosphate to fructose-6-phosphate. We investigated PfPGI using protein-engineering bioinformatics tools to select functionally-important residues based on correlated mutation analyses. A pair of amino acids in the periphery of…

AQUA-DUCT was presented on FEBS congress during speed-talk session Biochemistry and Signaling held on Monday, July 9, 2018. To facilitate analysis of the behaviour of water (and if necessary other solvent molecules or ligands) we have developed AQUA-DUCT. Here we would like to provide an example of its usage for analysis of water transportation in selected enzymes (epoxide hydrolases…
