DREAMM: a web-based server for drugging protein-membrane interfaces as a novel workflow for targeted drug design.

ABSTRACT:

Summary

The allosteric modulation of peripheral membrane proteins (PMPs) by targeting protein-membrane interactions with drug-like molecules represents a new promising therapeutic strategy for proteins currently considered undruggable. However, the accessibility of protein-membrane interfaces by small molecules has been so far unexplored, possibly due to the complexity of the interface, the limited protein-membrane structural information and the lack of computational workflows to study it. Herein, we present a pipeline for drugging protein-membrane interfaces using the DREAMM (Drugging pRotein mEmbrAne Machine learning Method) web server. DREAMM works in the back end with a fast and robust ensemble machine learning algorithm for identifying protein-membrane interfaces of PMPs. Addi
