CoBdock-2: enhancing blind docking performance through hybrid feature selection combining ensemble and multimodel feature selection approaches.

Journal of computer-aided molecular design
Identifying orthosteric binding sites and predicting small molecule affinities remains a key challenge in virtual screening. While blind docking explores the entire protein surface, its precision is hindered by the vast search space. Cavity detection...

AI based natural inhibitor targeting RPS20 for colorectal cancer treatment using integrated computational approaches.

Scientific reports
The increasing global incidence of cancer emphasizes the vital role of machine learning algorithms and artificial intelligence (AI) in identifying novel anticancer targets and developing new drugs. Computational approaches can significantly quicken r...

Machine learning-based QSAR and structure-based virtual screening guided discovery of novel mIDH1 inhibitors from natural products.

Journal of computer-aided molecular design
Mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) have been widely observed in various tumors, such as gliomas and acute myeloid leukemia, and therefore has become one of the current research focal points. Therefore, it is crucial to find inhibitors tha...

Evaluation of Small-Molecule Binding Site Prediction Methods on Membrane-Embedded Protein Interfaces.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
Increasing structural and biophysical evidence suggests that many drug molecules bind to the protein-membrane interface region in membrane protein structures. An important starting point for drug discovery is the determination of a ligand's binding s...

Uncertainty Quantification and Temperature Scaling Calibration for Protein-RNA Binding Site Prediction.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
The black-box nature of deep learning has increasingly drawn attention to the reliability and uncertainty of predictive models. Currently, several uncertainty quantification (UQ) methods have been proposed and successfully applied in the fields of mo...

Molecular insights into the unique activation and allosteric modulation mechanisms of the human mas-related G-protein-coupled receptor X1.

International journal of biological macromolecules
MRGPRX1 plays dual roles in mediating nociception and pruritus, making it a promising target for alleviating itch and inhibiting pain. However, the mechanisms underlying MRGPRX1 activation and allosteric modulation remain poorly understood, posing si...

CrypToth: Cryptic Pocket Detection through Mixed-Solvent Molecular Dynamics Simulations-Based Topological Data Analysis.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
Some functional proteins undergo conformational changes to expose hidden binding sites when a binding molecule approaches their surface. Such binding sites are called cryptic sites and are important targets for drug discovery. However, it is still di...

Predictive biophysical neural network modeling of a compendium of in vivo transcription factor DNA binding profiles for Escherichia coli.

Nature communications
The DNA binding of most Escherichia coli Transcription Factors (TFs) has not been comprehensively mapped, and few have models that can quantitatively predict binding affinity. We report the global mapping of in vivo DNA binding for 139 E. coli TFs us...

A KAN-based hybrid deep neural networks for accurate identification of transcription factor binding sites.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: Predicting protein-DNA binding sites in vivo is a challenging but urgent task in many fields such as drug design and development. Most promoters contain many transcription factor (TF) binding sites, yet only a few have been identified thr...

Integrating genetic variation with deep learning provides context for variants impacting transcription factor binding during embryogenesis.

Genome research
Understanding how genetic variation impacts transcription factor (TF) binding remains a major challenge, limiting our ability to model disease-associated variants. Here, we used a highly controlled system of F crosses with extensive genetic diversity...
