Abstract

Hirudin variant like small peptide or peptidomemitic compounds are known to inhibit thrombin. These 10 to 20 amino acid long molecules are reported to primarily bind at exosite 1 of thrombin. To know more about their interaction with thrombin, initially we docked 5 different hirudin variant peptides having 10 to 13 aa sequences. It helped to identify single best docking peptide (12 aa sequence) i.e. GDFEEIPEEYLQ (pdb: 1FPH _I chain) with docking score -3.42 kcal/Mol, amongst the set of peptides. This peptide was further truncated to form a series of peptides having 7 to 12 aa sequence range. The truncated peptides were further docked at thrombin exosite 1 binding site. Amongst these the best docking 7 aa peptide i.e. GDFEEIP, with docking score -4.43 kcal/Mol was identified. This experiment helped to predict the best possible peptide sequence, much needed for strong thrombin docking and can be competent peptide based antithrombin lead.
