Structural modifications of the existing ampicillin are much needed for saving patients from ampicillin-resistant microorganisms. A number of new molecules were generated by side chain modification of the existing ampicillin structure. Armed with molecular docking softwares like FlexiDOC, GLIDE, and AutoDOCK, a docking study was performed. Interaction between new molecules and target protein (1W2N) was also executed. Finally, we arranged new molecules according to docking scores, which directly reflects the binding affinity to the receptor protein.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
