Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) has a crucial role in multiple cell signaling pathways including B-cell antigen receptor (BCR) and Fc receptor (FcR) signaling cascades, which has attracted much attention to find BTK inhibitors to treat autoimmune dise...
The emergence of New Delhi metal beta-lactamase (NDM-1)-producing bacteria and their worldwide spread pose great challenges for the treatment of drug-resistant bacterial infections. These bacteria can hydrolyze most β-lactam antibacterials. Unfortuna...
Biomarkers can offer great promise for improving prevention and treatment of complex diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and diabetes. These can be used as either diagnostic or predictive or as prognostic biomarkers. The revolution brou...
Data mining methods based on machine learning play an increasingly important role in drug design and discovery. In the current work, eight machine learning methods including decision trees, k-Nearest neighbor, support vector machines, random forests,...
Prediction of biological and toxicological properties of small molecules using in silico approaches has become a wide practice in pharmaceutical research to lessen the cost and enhance productivity. The development of a tool "ChemSuite," a stand-alon...
GIIA secreted phospholipase A (GIIA sPLA ) is a potent target for drug discovery. To distinguish the activity level of the inhibitors of GIIA sPLA , we built 24 classification models by three machine learning algorithms including support vector machi...
In this review, we present important, recent developments in the computational prediction of cytochrome P450 (CYP) metabolism in the context of drug discovery. We discuss in silico models for the various aspects of CYP metabolism prediction, includin...
In this study, we describe the development of new machine learning models to predict inhibition of the enzyme 3-dehydroquinate dehydratase (DHQD). This enzyme is the third step of the shikimate pathway and is responsible for the synthesis of chorisma...
Sirtuins, a class of NAD+ -dependent deacetylases, play a key role in aging, metabolism, and longevity. Their interaction with NAD+ at the catalytic site is crucial for function, but experimental methods to map NAD+ binding sites are time consuming. ...
The bacterial cell wall is crucial for maintaining the integrity of bacterial cells. UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 1-carboxyethylene transferase (MurA) is an important enzyme involved in bacterial cell wall synthesis. Therefore, it is an important target f...
