Abstract:

On the basis of a structural similarity of 60%, we took the SQS inhibitor CP320473 as a lead compound to perform molecular docking by
 AutoDock Vina. In the end, the new compound with the lowest binding energy with SQS was selected for further investigation. The docking results show that the new compound (named zinc_8442249) is a better inhibitor than CP320473. Lys52 is important in inhibition as it forms a hydrogen bond.

Key words: squalene synthase, highthroughout screening; docking, inhibitor
