ABSTRACT

 

Sahu TK, Patra MC., Bio-computational interaction analysis of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) Toxin C from Dendroaspis polylepis with human AChE, Onl J Bioinform.,  12(1):139-148, 2011. A computational interaction model of a peptide acetyl-cholinesterase toxin C (AChETC) from the venom of Dendroaspis Polylepis (Black Mamba) with human hippocampal AChE is described. The 3D structures of AChE and AChETC were modeled by the program MODELLER interfaced with Discovery Studio 2.5. Protein-protein docking was performed by the GRAMM-X web server. The key residues Arg27, Pro30 and Pro31 of AChETC were found to  participate in AChE inhibition by forming hydrogen bonds and several other electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions with AChE.
