    Notes: Abstract The use of a Gaussian-based representation of protein structures for evaluating protein-structure similarities and deriving three-dimensional superpositions is presented. The approach, as implemented in the program GAPS, is applied to three pairs of proteins with different topological characteristics (rich α-helix, mixed α-helix/β-strand, and rich β-strand), low sequence identities (10–30%), and recognized difficulties to define a unique optimum alignment.Validation of the GAPS superpositions is done by comparison with superpositions obtained by the TOP, GA_FIT, and ALIGN programs and those directly extracted from the FSSP database. Results suggest that a Gaussian-based methodology offers an objective means to, depending on the Gaussian-based representation, derive a consensus three-dimensional superposition when alternative superposition solutions exist.

    Notes: Abstract An analysis of the relationship among alignment solutions obtained from field-based matching of a representative set of rigid conformers of three non-nucleoside HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitors and solutions obtained from flexible matching of the same conformers is presented. In some cases, different alignment solutions obtained from rigid matching converge to the same solution when conformational rigidity is relaxed, indicating that a reduced set of conformers per molecule may be sufficient in many field-based similarity studies. Furthermore, the results also indicate the importance of going beyond the pairwise similarity level to obtain consistent solutions in flexible-matching studies. In this respect, the best conformationally flexible multi-molecule alignment obtained is found to be in good agreement with the relative binding geometry and orientation found experimentally from protein-ligand crystal structures. The rms separation between corresponding atoms in computed and `experimental' sets of three inhibitor structures is 0.94 Å.

    Notes: Abstract The development of similarity methods for fast flexible ligand superposition has recently received considerable attention. These efforts have brought similarity methods to a level of performance comparable to the well established protein-ligand docking methods for binding mode assessment and molecular database screening. However, the strengths and intrinsic limitations of both methodologies have been also stressed out extensively. As the number of resolved ligand-bound protein structures increases, combining ligand-based and receptor-based approaches emerges as a consensus strategy to maximally exploit the structural information available and improve the results obtained with either of the methods alone.
