By deploying molecular simulations, our approach comprehensively covers a broad array of proteins, tracking their flexibility and dynamics individually and within complexes. Ensemble virtual screening is utilised to take into account conformational dynamics, identifying pivotal binding sites located within functional regions and at allosteric locations. This thorough exploration ensures that every conceivable mechanism of action is considered, aiming to identify new therapeutic targets and advance lead compounds throughout a vast spectrum of biological functions.
Our library stands out due to several important features:

Background:
The Proton-coupled zinc antiporter SLC30A5, also known as Zinc transporter 5 and ZnT-like transporter 1, plays a pivotal role in zinc ion homeostasis. It functions alongside SLC30A6, facilitating zinc entry into organelle lumens along the secretory pathway. This process is crucial for the activation and proper folding of various enzymes, including those involved in alkaline phosphatase activity and phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis. Additionally, SLC30A5 is instrumental in the transport of zinc into pancreatic beta-cell secretory granules, thereby regulating insulin storage and secretion.
Therapeutic significance:
Understanding the role of Proton-coupled zinc antiporter SLC30A5 could open doors to potential therapeutic strategies.
