Lire la suite >Located at the tip of type I fimbria of Escherichia coli, the bacterial adhesin FimH is responsible for the attachment of the bacteria to the (human) host by specifically binding to highly-mannosylated glycoproteins located on the exterior of the host cell wall. Adhesion represents a necessary early step in bacterial infection and specific inhibition of this process represents a valuable alternative pathway to antibiotic treatments, as such anti-adhesive drugs are non-intrusive and are therefore unlikely to induce bacterial resistance. The currently available anti-adhesives with the highest affinities for FimH still feature affinities in the nanomolar range. A prerequisite to develop higher-affinity FimH inhibitors is a molecular understanding of the FimH-inhibitor complex formation. The latest insights in the formation process are achieved by combining several molecular simulation and traditional experimental techniques. This review summarizes how molecular simulation contributed to the current knowledge of the molecular function of FimH and the importance of dynamics in the inhibitor binding process, and highlights the importance of the incorporation of dynamical aspects in (future) drug-design studies.Lire moins >
