Abstract
Pan-assay interference compounds (PAINS) are promiscuous molecules with multiple behaviors that interfere with assay readouts. Membrane PAINS are a subset of these compounds that influence the function of membrane proteins by nonspecifically perturbing the lipid membranes that surround them. Here, we describe a computational protocol to identify potential membrane PAINS molecules by calculating the effect that a given compound has on the bilayer deformation propensity.Entities:
