Resumo: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The uprising of HIV and other viruses in the beginning of
the 80s, as well as the expansion of other diseases like
hepatitis C has stimulated research in order to develop
blood substitutes. Research based on modified Human Serum
Albumin associated with heme has shown a promissory line in
this direction. In the present work we make a computational
study about the heme and its precursor, the Protoporphyrin
IX complexed with HSA, in order to know the contribution of
the main amino acids to the stability of the binding, the
character of the binding site, secondary binding sites
formation, and the influence of the porphyrins in the
global protein structure. To find this objective we use
quantum calculations based on Functional Density Theory,
Molecular Docking and Molecular Dynamics. Finally, a
correlation study between different regions of HSA and the
pattern modifications caused by the porphyrins were
performed, using the generalized correlation coefficients
based on the Kraskov formulation. We also discuss the
contribution that our calculations could give to the
reengineering of HSA, to provide them with hemeprotein
characteristics.
