Bakteriofāga AP205 apvalka proteīna strukturālie pētījumi
2015
Darbā ar rentgenstruktūranalīzes palīdzību tika noteikta Acinetobacter fāga AP205 apvalka proteīna struktūra 1,9 Å izšķirtspējā. Proteīna vispārējā struktūra ir līdzīga radniecīgo bakteriofāgu iepriekš noteiktajām struktūrām, bet ir vērojamas vairākas būtiskas atšķirības, no kurām nozīmīgākā ir C- un N- galu atrašanās uz kapsīdas virsmas. Iegūtie rezultāti izskaidro AP205 fāga kapsīdu toleranci pret garām insercijām C- un N- galos, kā arī paver ceļu racionālai apvalka proteīna modificēšanai praktiskiem pielietojumiem. Darbs izstrādāts Latvijas Biomedicīnas pētījumu un studiju centra proteīnu kristalogrāfijas laboratorijā Dr. biol. Kaspara Tāra vadībā.
Identification of novel compounds against three targets of SARS CoV-2 coronavirus by combined virtual screening and supervised machine learning.
2021
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a major threat worldwide due to its fast spreading. As yet, there are no established drugs available. Speeding up drug discovery is urgently required. We applied a workflow of combined in silico methods (virtual drug screening, molecular docking and supervised machine learning algorithms) to identify novel drug candidates against COVID-19. We constructed chemical libraries consisting of FDA-approved drugs for drug repositioning and of natural compound datasets from literature mining and the ZINC database to select compounds interacting with SARS-CoV-2 target proteins (spike protein, nucleocapsid protein, and 2′-o-ribose methyltransferase). Supported by…
STABILITY OF A STOCHASTICALLY PERTURBED MODEL OF INTRACELLULAR SINGLE-STRANDED RNA VIRUS REPLICATION
2019
Compared to the replication of double-stranded RNA and DNA viruses, the replication of single-stranded viruses requires the production of a number of intermediate strands that serve as templates for the synthesis of genomic-sense strands. Two theoretical extreme mechanisms for replication for such single-stranded viruses have been proposed; one extreme being represented by the so-called linear stamping machine and the opposite extreme by the exponential growth. Of course, real systems are more complex and examples have been described in which a combination of such extreme mechanisms can also occur: a fraction of the produced progeny resulting from a stamping-machine type of replication that…
