A comprehensive computational strategy that combined QSAR modelling, molecular docking, and ADMET analysis was used to discover potential inhibitors for β-secretase 1 (BACE-1). A dataset of 1,138 compounds with established BACE-1 inhibitory activitie...
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to develop and apply a novel computational pipeline combining SELFormer, a transformer architecture-based chemical language model, with advanced deep learning techniques to predict natural compounds (NCs) with potential i...

BACE1 has been regarded as an essential drug design target for treating Alzheimer's disease (AD). Multiple independent Gaussian accelerated molecular dynamics simulations (GaMD), deep learning (DL), and molecular mechanics general Born surface area (...
The beta-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1) is a transmembrane aspartyl-protease, that cleaves amyloid precursor protein (APP) at the β-site. The sequential proteolytic cleavage of APP, first by β-secretase and then by γ-secreta...

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of long non-coding RNA RP1-90L14.1 on the proliferation, migration and invasion of prostate cancer LNCaP cells and the expressions of GRIN2A and BACE2.
BACKGROUND: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is one of most serious threats to human beings, however, the treatment is hindered by blood-brain barrier and poor intra-brain cell selectivity.
