RESUMO

The aim of this study was to develop a theoretical model using Anopheles gambiae GSTE2 structure as template for Aedes aegypti GSTE2 by homology modeling Docking simulations were performed for both the enzymes against usnic acid in neutral and anionic forms. Ramachandran plot revealed that 93.9% of the GSTE2 model residues were located on most favored regions. Model evaluation was made by the ANOLEA and GROMOS analysis. Docking results indicated that the enzymes were able to form glutathione-conjugate with usnic acid in both the forms (anionic and neutral).
