The functional sites were predicted for Nudix enzymes from pathogenic microorganisms such as Streprococcus pneumonia (2B06) and Enterococcus faecalis (2AZW). Their structures are already determined, however, no data is reported about their functional sites, substrates and inhibitors. Therefore, we report prediction of functional sites in these Nudix enzymes via Geometric Invariant (GI) technique (Construct different geometries of peptides which remain unchanged). The GI method enumerated 2B06: RA57, EA58, EA61, EA62 and 2AZW: RA62, EA63, EA66, EA67 as putative functional sites in these Nudix enzymes. In addition, the substrate was predicted via Molecular docking (Docking of substrates against whole structure of Nudix enzymes). The substrate ADP-Ribose was docked with the Nudix enzymes, 2B06 (Docking energy -15.68 Kcal/mol) and 2AZW (Docking energy -10.86 Kcal/mol) with the higher affinity and the lower docking energy as compared to other substrates. The residues EA62 in 2B06 and RA62 in 2AZW make hydrogen bonds with the ADP-ribose. Furthermore, we screened 51 inhibitor compounds against structures of 2B06 and 2AZW. The inhibitor compounds AMPCPR and CID14258187 were docked well as compared to other compounds. The compound CID14258187 was also in agreement with Lipinski rule of 5 for drug likeness properties. Therefore, our findings of functional sites, substrates and inhibitors for these Nudix enzymes may help in structure based drug designing against Streprococcus pneumonia and Enterococcus faecalis.
