Abstract

AnchorQuery (http://anchorquery.csb.pitt.edu) is a web application for rational structure-based design of protein-protein interaction (PPI) inhibitors. A specialized variant of pharmacophore search is used to rapidly screen libraries consisting of more than 31 million synthesizable compounds biased by design to preferentially target PPIs. Every library compound is accessible through one-step multi-component reaction (MCR) chemistry and contains an anchor motif that is bioisosteric to an amino acid residue. The inclusion of this anchor not only biases the compounds to interact with proteins, it also enables a rapid, sublinear time pharmacophore search algorithm. AnchorQuery provides all the tools necessary for users to perform online interactive virtual screens of millions of compounds, including pharmacophore elucidation and search, and enrichment analysis. Accessibility: AnchorQuery is freely accessible at http://anchorquery.csb.pitt.edu.
