title: Molecular docking study of binding of TMPyP4 to a bimolecular human telomeric G-quadruplex.
abstract: We carried out molecular docking simulation of binding of cationic porphyrin TMPyP4 to a bimolecular human telomeric G-quadruplex using DOCK6.1 to examine whether or not to reproduce the loop binding mode of TMPyP4 in the crystal structure. The simulation gave the two highest-ranked docking poses of TMPyP4, and the binding modes were external stacking on the terminal guanine-tetrad and groove binding.
