'''Model: Botulinum Neurotoxin Serotype A Endopeptidase Liganded with a Small-Molecule Inhibitor HAB'''

HAB is one such inhibitor that exhibits nanomolar potency in inhibiting BoNTAe (to be published). Multiple molecular dynamics simulations of HAB•BoNTAe (20 10-ns-long simulations) suggest that one functional group of HAB is highly flexible or intrinsically disordered; the percentages of the top three most-populated conformations of the complex (Models 1-3) are 21%, 13% and 12%, respectively. To evaluate the computational methods, the coordinates of the three models were released before the forthcoming crystal structure of HAB•BoNTAe. Only 33% of the heavy atoms of HAB are provided in the released models<ref>The models of HAB•BoNTAe were released at [http://mayoresearch.mayo.edu/mayo/research/camdl/protein-structure-prediction.cfm Mayo Research Protein Structure Prediction] on March 5, 2010.</ref>. The full structure of HAB will be released upon manuscript acceptance<ref>This author thanks Professor Joel L. Sussman and his colleagues for their creation and maintenance of PROTEOPEDIA that permits archiving computational models of macromolecular structures and assessment of protein structure prediction made prior to experimental structures.</ref>.
