# Novel Myosin Motor Modulators — GA-II Designed Ligand–Receptor Complexes

> **Why this target matters.** Direct myosin modulation is the first therapeutic strategy to target cardiac contractility at the motor protein itself, a mechanism validated clinically by mavacamten's approval in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

**22** computationally designed small-molecule ligands docked into the **myosin motor domain**,
each provided as a single-file **protein–ligand complex in PDB format** (21 unique ligand structures).

The **myosin motor domain** is the force-generating ATPase of muscle; allosteric small-molecule modulators of cardiac/skeletal myosin are an established cardiomyopathy modality (e.g., mavacamten).

> **Receptor note:** coordinates correspond to the myosin motor domain (chain A res 33–782).
> *TODO: add the source RCSB PDB accession for the receptor template used to generate these complexes.*

## Dataset summary

| | |
|---|---|
| Complex files | **22** (`*_cmpx.pdb`) |
| Unique ligand SMILES | **21** |
| Receptor | myosin motor domain (chain A res 33–782) |
| Generator | Technetium GA-II pocket-conditioned generative platform |
| Generation date | 2025-09-13 – 2025-09-28 |
| Pose scoring | AutoDock Vina |

These are de novo, scaffold-constrained generative designs produced by the **Technetium GA-II** pocket-conditioned generative platform. Each design is docked into the target pocket and scored with **AutoDock Vina**; a `REMARK CORE` record preserves the scaffold/attachment context.

Each complex file is self-contained — receptor structure, the ligand's 3D docked pose, and a
2D↔3D atom map all travel inside the single PDB.

## Property profile

Physicochemical ranges are computed with RDKit over the **21** unique ligand structures; docking
energy is from the generation/docking pipeline.

| Property | Range | Median |
|---|---|---|
| Docking energy (AutoDock Vina) | ≤ -10.9 kcal/mol (down to -14.4) | — |
| Molecular weight | 333.4 – 498.6 Da | 420.5 |
| cLogP | 1.8 – 3.9 | 3.5 |
| TPSA | 68.8 – 99.5 Ų | 87.9 |
| Fsp3 (fraction sp³ C) | 0.2 – 0.5 | 0.4 |
| H-bond donors | 1 – 2 | 1 |
| H-bond acceptors | 4 – 8 | 6 |
| Rotatable bonds | 3 – 7 | 5 |

## File format

Each `*_cmpx.pdb` bundles the receptor and one docked ligand pose:

| Record | Content |
|---|---|
| `REMARK VINA RESULT <energy> …` | AutoDock Vina docking score (kcal/mol) |
| `REMARK CORE <smiles>` | the scaffold / attachment context of the design |
| `REMARK SMILES <smiles>` | the docked ligand (2D structure) |
| `REMARK SMILES IDX <pos> <serial> …` | map of each SMILES heavy-atom position ↔ its ligand atom serial (the 2D↔3D key) |
| `ATOM … <chain>` | receptor heavy atoms |
| `ATOM … UNL` (after `MODEL 1`) | ligand 3D pose (residue name `UNL`) |

A combined SMILES index (`Novel Myosin Motor Inhibitors.smi`, `SMILES<TAB>compound-id`) is included for quick cheminformatics use.

## Usage

```python
import glob

def read_complex(path):
    smiles, idx = None, {}
    with open(path) as fh:
        for line in fh:
            if line.startswith("REMARK SMILES IDX"):
                toks = line.split()[3:]            # flat list of (smiles_pos, atom_serial)
                for i in range(0, len(toks), 2):
                    idx[int(toks[i])] = int(toks[i + 1])
            elif line.startswith("REMARK SMILES"):
                smiles = line.split(None, 2)[2].strip()
    return smiles, idx                              # idx[smiles_atom_position] -> ligand atom serial

for f in glob.glob("*_cmpx.pdb"):
    smi, idx = read_complex(f)
    # ligand atoms are the `ATOM ... UNL` records following `MODEL 1`
```

## Provenance & intended use

- These are **computationally generated** designs and docked poses — **not** experimentally
  validated binders. No claim of activity or selectivity is made.
- Intended for machine-learning, cheminformatics, generative-model benchmarking, and
  docking-pose research on a well-defined target.
