In-silico study of approved drugs as potential inhibitors against 3CLpro and other viral proteins of CoVID-19.

PloS one
The global pandemic, due to the emergence of COVID-19, has created a public health crisis. It has a huge morbidity rate that was never comprehended in the recent decades. Despite numerous efforts, potent antiviral drugs are lacking. Repurposing of dr...

Enhancing the understandings on SARS-CoV-2 main protease (M) mutants from molecular dynamics and machine learning.

International journal of biological macromolecules
While star drugs like Paxlovid have shown remarkable performance in combating SARS-CoV-2, we still face serious challenges such as viral mutants and resistance. In this study, we employ a computational framework combining molecular dynamics (MD) simu...

A deep learning model for structure-based bioactivity optimization and its application in the bioactivity optimization of a SARS-CoV-2 main protease inhibitor.

European journal of medicinal chemistry
Bioactivity optimization is a crucial and technical task in the early stages of drug discovery, traditionally carried out through iterative substituent optimization, a process that is often both time-consuming and expensive. To address this challenge...

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