Abstract

A methodology to incorporate the three-dimensional molecular shape descriptor (3D-MSD) into a quantitative structure-activity relationship is discussed in detail. The 3D-MSD is calculated and correlated with Kiapp values for a set of 2,4-diamino-5-benzylpyrimidines which inhibit E. coli DHFR. The correlation (n = 22. r = 0.95, 5 = 0.214, F= 55.10) indicates that the polarization interaction dominates the enzyme-inhibitor interactional pattern.
