| Abstract | Human dopamine D4 receptor is a GPCR target in the treatment of neurological and psychiatric conditions such as schizophrenia and Parkinson’s disease. The X-ray structure of this receptor has not been resolved so far. Therefore, a proper 3D structure of D4 could provide a good tool in order to design novel ligands against this target. In this study, homology modeling studies were performed to obtain a reasonable structure of the receptor using known templates. The obtained model was subjected to molecular dynamic simulation within a DPPC membrane system. Some structural features of the receptor such as a conserved disulfide bridge and ionic lock were considered in the modeling experiments. The resulted trajectories of simulation were clustered based on the root mean square deviation of the backbone. Some known ligands and decoys were accordingly docked into the representative frames of each cluster. The best final model was finally selected based on its ability to discriminate between active ligands and inactive decoys (ROC = 0.839). The presented model of human D4 receptor could be a promising starting point in future studies of drug design for the described target.

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
