Welcome to MAGELLAN (Michigan G protein-coupled Receptor Ligand-Based Virtual Screen), a hierarchical ligand-based virtual screening pipeline developed for screening Class A G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR). The core of this pipeline is the construction of a composite ligand profile, represented by 1024xN matrix, that is collected from homologous ligand-GPCR complexes detected by five sequence and structure comparison algorithms. Active GPCR compounds are then prioritized by threading the ligand profile through large-scale compound databases. Employing a chemogenomics approach, MAGELLAN is most suitable for orphan GPCRs, those which do not have any known endogenous ligands ()

    About

    What is MAGELLAN?

    MAGELLAN is a chemogenomic, ligand-profile based virtual screening algorithm designed specifically for Class A G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR). It allows users to screen against ZINC12 database in order to find compounds that could potentially interact with your GPCR of itnerest. As our algorithm operates on the principle that similar receptors bind similar ligands, MAGELLAN is most applicable for studies investigating orphan GPCR's. The flowchart of the MAGELLAN is dipicted in Figure 1 below.

    Server Features

    A number of services are available to the user on the web server:

    • MAGELLAN Online Server - Users can submit a FASTA file of their GPCR of interest to the server. Upon completion, the user will get back the top 1% of the ranked compounds from ZINC12 database. Additionally, the chemical structures for the top 100 compounds will be displayed for visual inspection.
    • Virtual Screening Results - 717 human, Class A GPCR's have been pre-screened, and the results have been uploaded to the server. Users can browse based on subfamily and access data in the same fashion as with the user-submitted jobs.
    • Ligand Sets - Users can download ligand sets generated with a variety of filtration settings. In addition to Class A, the other classes of GPCR's have also been provided for download.

    Virtual Screening Results

    All human, class A GPCRs were screened against the clean, druglike subset of ZINC12 database in this study. In total, there were 717 GPCRs. For space reasons on the server, only the top 1% of the ranked results are given.
