Computational and biochemical screening for the discovery of molecules that stabilize ITPA clinical variants

Research project funded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences to identify molecules that stabilize defective ITPA protein variants through computational and biochemical screening methods.

Description

The project aims to discover molecules that can bind to ITPA variants and reverse defects using computational and biochemical methods, screening a library of 300,000 drug-like molecules. It involves virtual screening, biochemical assays, and molecular dynamics simulations, with participation from undergraduate researchers. The goal is to develop drug candidates to stabilize clinically relevant ITPA variants.
