In the two transmembrane protein types, outer membrane proteins (OMPs) perform diverse important biochemical functions, including substrate transport and passive nutrient uptake and intake. Hence their 3D structures are expected to reveal these funct...
The aim of this study was to develop an in silico prediction system to assess which of 7 categories of drug transporters (organic anion transporting polypeptide [OATP] 1B1/1B3, multidrug resistance-associated protein [MRP] 2/3/4, organic anion transp...

The lymphatic system hosts a large number of therapeutic targets that can be used to modulate a wide range of diseases including cancers, autoimmune and inflammatory disorders, infectious diseases and metabolic syndrome; however, drug access to the l...
The ability of a compound to permeate across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a significant factor for central nervous system drug development. Thus, for speeding up the drug discovery process, it is crucial to perform high-throughput screenings to p...
MOTIVATION: Evaluating the blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability of drug molecules is a critical step in brain drug development. Traditional methods for the evaluation require complicated in vitro or in vivo testing. Alternatively, in silico predict...
OBJECTIVE: This study proposes an automated classification of benign and malignant in highly integrated regions in bone single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) using a three-dimensional deep convolutional neural netw...
MOTIVATION: Identification of blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability of a compound is a major challenge in neurotherapeutic drug discovery. Conventional approaches for BBB permeability measurement are expensive, time-consuming and labor-intensive. BB...
Single-particle tracking (SPT) has become a popular tool to study the intracellular transport of molecules in living cells. Inferring the character of their dynamics is important, because it determines the organization and functions of the cells. For...
