Abstract:
In this work, seven Cylo phe-Ala-Asp-Gly-based Compounds were optimized using Spartan'14 software. Series of software used in this work were Spartan 14, molecular operating environment (MOE), padel, ADMET. The optimized compounds were docked against human Caspase 1 (6F6R) so as to observe their inhibiting ability. The calculated descriptors for individual compounds were reported and described. Also, the docked compound 2 (2-((2S,8S,11S)-11-([1,1'-biphenyl]-4-ylmethyl)-8-benzyl-3,6,9,12-tetraoxo-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecan-2-yl) acetic acid) proved to be more efficient in inhibiting human caspase 1 than other compounds under investigation. The pharmacokinetic evaluation of compound with highest binding affinity and reference compound were executed and reported.

Allosteric Proteins-ATCase
Aspartate transcarbamoylase (ATCase) is a cytosolic enzyme that catalyzes the condensation of L-aspartate and carbamoyl phosphate to N-carbamoyl-L-aspartate. This reaction is the first step in pyrimidine biosynthesis. UTP and CTP, the end products of the pyrimidine synthesis...
