Abstract
Aim: Streptokinase has poor selectivity and provokes the immune response. In this study, we used in silico studies to design a fusion protein to achieve targeted delivery to the thrombus. Materials & methods: Streptokinase was analyzed computationally for mapping. The fusion protein modeling and quality assessment were carried out on several servers. The enzymatic activity and the stability of the fusion protein and its complex with plasminogen were assessed through molecular docking analysis and molecular dynamics simulation respectively. Results: Physicochemical properties analysis, protein quality assessments, protein-protein docking and molecular dynamics simulations predicted that the designed fusion protein is functionally active. Conclusion: Our results showed that this fusion protein might be a prospective candidate as a novel thrombolytic agent with better selectivity.
期刊介绍：
Delivering therapeutics in a way that is right for the patient - safe, painless, reliable, targeted, efficient and cost effective - is the fundamental aim of scientists working in this area. Correspondingly, this evolving field has already yielded a diversity of delivery methods, including injectors, controlled release formulations, drug eluting implants and transdermal patches. Rapid technological advances and the desire to improve the efficacy and safety profile of existing medications by specific targeting to the site of action, combined with the drive to improve patient compliance, continue to fuel rapid research progress. Furthermore, the emergence of cell-based therapeutics and biopharmaceuticals such as proteins, peptides and nucleotides presents scientists with new and exciting challenges for the application of therapeutic delivery science and technology. Successful delivery strategies increasingly rely upon collaboration across a diversity of fields, including biology, chemistry, pharmacology, nanotechnology, physiology, materials science and engineering. Therapeutic Delivery recognizes the importance of this diverse research platform and encourages the publication of articles that reflect the highly interdisciplinary nature of the field. In a highly competitive industry, Therapeutic Delivery provides the busy researcher with a forum for the rapid publication of original research and critical reviews of all the latest relevant and significant developments, and focuses on how the technological, pharmacological, clinical and physiological aspects come together to successfully deliver modern therapeutics to patients. The journal delivers this essential information in concise, at-a-glance article formats that are readily accessible to the full spectrum of therapeutic delivery researchers.
