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…

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.
