MethodsAs before, 2, 3 the basic procedure consists of the following steps:(1) Construct the molecules by joining their con-stituent fragments as obtained from crystallographic studies. 17 (2) Assume that the binding energy of the ligand comes from the interaction of various atoms of the ligand with some atoms of the receptor sites. Following this idea, make a working hypothesis of the binding modes of the various molecules in terms of which atoms of the ligand interact with which site points.(3) Deduce the site ge-ometry from the structure of the ligand molecules. This problem can be solved in either of the following ways:(i) by using the distance geometry algorithm, 2’3 (ii) hypoth-esizing an active conformation derived from the conformational analysis of the strong andweak inhibitors, 18 or (iii) examining the crystallographic results on the recep-tor-bound ligand. 19 A site point either may represent the approximate location of an atom in the ligand when it binds to the site or it may represent the hypothetical or actual location of a site atom or group. Without highresolution crystallographic data, the first possibility is straightforward, but the second requiresthe van der Waals radii of the ligand point and the site point. Even then it may be located anywhere on the sphere centered at the ligand point andwhose radius is the sum of the van der Waals radii of the site point and the ligand point. How-ever, some of the possibilities may be excluded on steric grounds. For example, if a chlorine atom attached to a benzene ring interacts with the receptor site, the latter should be away from the ring. Finding the exact location of the site has the advantage that even the distance de-pendencies of the interaction may be studied.(4) Determine the various geometrically possible binding modes, as
