Modeling Cyclic Peptides with MOE
Cyclic peptides have long been of interest as potential therapeutics, but these “big small molecules” present many challenges for modeling. This Webinar highlights a number of MOE tools and techniques that can be applied to modeling this class of molecules. Particular attention is given to the construction of cyclic peptide libraries, including an investigation of their conformational behavior. Approaches to address their chemical stability and permeability is also discussed. Finally, case studies evaluating the interactions between receptors and both wild-type and rationally designed mutants is presented.
