title: Combining 3D-QSAR, docking, molecular dynamics and MM/PBSA methods to predict binding modes for nonsteroidal selective modulator to glucocorticoid receptor.
abstract: AL-438 is a selective and dissociated GR (glucocorticoid receptor) agonist. In this letter, the binding mode of AL-438 to GR is predicted by using multiple computational methods including 3D-QSAR, molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation. This provides a guideline for rational design of novel and dissociated nonsteroidal GR ligand.
