Scientific reports
α-Glucosidase is a key enzyme responsible for controlling the blood glucose, making a pivotal target in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Present work introducestriazolo[1,5-a]pyridine as a novel, potent scaffold for α-glucosidase inhibition...

Evolutionary Dynamics and Functional Differences in Clinically Relevant Pen β-Lactamases from spp.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global threat, with species contributing significantly to difficult-to-treat infections. The Pen family of β-lactamases are produced by all spp., and their mutation or overproduction leads to the resistance of β-...

Machine Learning-Guided Screening and Molecular Docking for Proposing Naturally Derived Drug Candidates Against MERS-CoV 3CL Protease.

International journal of molecular sciences
In this study, we utilized machine learning techniques to identify potential inhibitors of the MERS-CoV 3CL protease. Among the models evaluated, the Random Forest (RF) algorithm exhibited the highest predictive performance, achieving an accuracy of ...

Geometry-encoded molecular dynamics enables deep learning insights into P450 regiospecificity control.

Scientific reports
Cytochrome P450 1A2, as many isoenzymes, can generate multiple metabolites from a single substrate. A loose coupling between substrate binding and oxygen activation makes possible substrate reorientations at the active site prior to catalysis. In the...
