Structural analysis and inhibition capacity of dioscorin protein yam: Theoretical study by molecular docking and dynamic simulations

José Severiche‐Castro,

Abstract: Proteases such as trypsins in the gut of Spodoptera frugiperda are responsible for breaking down dietary proteins into amino acids necessary for insect growth and development. In this study, we characterized the insecticidal potential of dioscorin, the storage protein of yam (Dioscorea alata), using molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations to determine the interactions between trypsin enzymes and the protein inhibitor dioscorin. To achieve this, we used the three‐dimensional structures of the tryps… Show more
