PG - 40053 LID - 10.1038/srep40053 [doi] LID - 40053 AB - The glycine-binding site of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) subunit GluN1 is a potential pharmacological target for neurodegenerative disorders. A novel combinatorial ensemble docking scheme using ligand and protein conformation ensembles and customized support vector machine (SVM)-based models to select the docked pose and to predict the docking score was generated for predicting the NMDAR GluN1-ligand binding affinity. The predicted root mean square deviation (RMSD) values in pose by SVM-Pose models were found to be in good agreement with the observed values (n = 30, r(2) = 0.928-0.988, = 0.894-0.954, RMSE = 0.002-0.412, s = 0.001-0.214), and the predicted pK(i) values by SVM-Score were found to be in good agreement with the observed values for the training samples (n = 24, r(2) = 0.967, = 0.899, RMSE = 0.295, s = 0.170) and test samples (n = 13, q(2) = 0.894, RMSE = 0.437, s = 0.202). When subjected to various statistical validations, the developed SVM-Pose and SVM-Score models consistently met the most stringent criteria. A mock test asserted the predictivity of this novel docking scheme. Collectively, this accurate novel combinatorial ensemble docking scheme can be used to predict the NMDAR GluN1-ligand binding affinity for facilitating drug discovery.
