- HIVPR presents one of the most successful stories of structure-based
drug design (indinavir, ritonavir, saquinavir, nelfinavir)
- Lots of successful and not so successful stories exist
- All stories are very important, successful or not
- Often, particularly in an industrial set up, resources are hard to
justify to publish and to deposit structural data of not so successful
results
- Unlike for 3-D structures, no
established public archival facility exists for 2-D structural data
- Existing web resources for 2-D and 3-D data are not integrated
- For this reason, NIST, in collaboration with NCI and NIAID initiated an
effort to setup a special archival and distribution system for HIVPR 2-D
and 3-D structures

- HIVSDB has a SQL based dynamic, customizable webpage for 2-D and 3-D
structures in an integrated environment
- HIVSDB has about 70% more HIV protease 3-D structures than in the PDB
- HIVSDB has about 500 active HIV Protease inhibitor 2-D structures
- Dynamic links to biological, chemical and drug-resistance data at NIAID
and at NCBI are provided
- HVSDB uses a novel query tool to search abstract, drugs, inhibitors,
authors, company, and more,..
- Abstract, citation, author, journal, year, pages,..
- Inhibitor, IUPAC name, fragment name, ..
- Mutation, crystal growth, 2-D drawings..
- Space group, unit cell,..

- Often we imagine compounds using chemical definitions such as ring structures,
sulfur containing compounds, and we visualize their structures in terms
of 2-D drawings
- Chemical data-tree is handy for formulating such imaginations
- Will not it be nice to query a database using such definitions based on
data-tree? Yes
- Will not it be nice to express
our imagination into a web query using 2-D drawings? Yes
- For this reason in HIVSDB
- All compounds were annotated into a data-tree
- Tools are developed to step through and query the data-tree using both
text and 2-D drawings
- A novel method called Chem-BLAST
is developed to look for related chemical structures using a method
analogous to that of the popular BLAST program used for sequence
comparisons

- BLAST Program has been very successful in querying & comparing
protein/DNA sequences
- Chem-BLAST provides similar functionality for chemical compounds using
chemical layers such as those of fragments, subgroups and classes
- Chem-BLAST compares structures using the different layers of a data-tree
that relates all compounds in the database
- While searching for similar structures, layered approach of Chem-BLAST
facilitates zooming in & out of structural features using the
definitions made in different layers of the data-tree

- Queries using a single string often produce too many hits
- Therefore, in HIVSDB a query may be refined using AND or OR
- Each query result is piped into several tools to aid new queries
|
|
11
|
- Often we conceptualize questions using more than one selection criteria
for the compound
- Often we look for a structural motif ;
anything-something-anything-something-anything-something
- In HIVSDB, one may use AND or OR to join query concepts specified using
text or 2-D drawings
- Concepts may be joined explicitly in a text box or implicitly by the
selection of a 2-D drawing

- In HIVSDB, any and every query may be done using 2-D drawings
- IUPAC names are hard to remember
- At times IUPAC names run into several lines
- In many databases, annotation of drugs using IUPAC names is done for
annotators convenience since names may be generated using batch process
and such annotation is not best for customers to specify a query
- Because of their length and complexity, IUPAC names are more suited for
indexing drugs in computers than for specifying drugs by users in
queries
- I do not often see people using IUPAC names to specify a complete
compound in a conversation, then, how can I expect a user to type in
IUPAC name into a query box?
- Instead of IUPAC names, 2-D
drawings of functional fragments are a better alternative for customers
to identify compounds of his/her interest during a query. Therefore, in
HIVSDB we focus on annotation and query using 2-D drawings – the
language we use to conceptualize probes for queries
