Discuss briefly the pharmaceutical applications of micelles?

Small molecules are used as inhibitors of protein action - as drugs. They most often do this by blocking the active site within the protein. Potential drugs can be screened computationally to determine if they are strongly bound to the protein. Figure 1 shows a possible conformation of a candidate drug molecule, 4-bromo-2- carboxymethylamide-pyrrole (abbreviation: BCMAP) at the active site of a protein (abbreviation: PR). Figure 2 shows the full protein structure whilst figure 3 shows a known inhibitor of the protein at the site, overlayed with another calculated conformer of BCMAP. (a) Explain what types of interactions, both intermolecular and intramolecular, that a molecular mechanics forcefield must be able to describe in order to be able to accurately determine the geometry of BCMAP in the protein. Identify which interactions will be the most important to describe accurately. Figure 1.4-bromo-2-carboxymethylamide-pyrrole (BCMAP) (C, N, O, and Br atoms in yellow, blue, red, and…
