Structure-activity relationship studies of 1-(1'-hydroxyalkyl)rupestonic acid methyl esters against influenza viruses.

Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters
A series of 1-(1'-hydroxyalkyl)rupestonic acid methyl esters were synthesized via the condensation of methyl rupestonate with various aldehydes in the presence of LDA. This mixed aldol reaction was highly stereoselective and all the new compounds wer...

Effect of Binding Pose and Modeled Structures on SVMGen and GlideScore Enrichment of Chemical Libraries.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
Virtual screening consists of docking libraries of small molecules to a target protein followed by rank-ordering of the resulting structures using scoring functions. The ability of scoring methods to distinguish between actives and inactives depends ...

DisPredict: A Predictor of Disordered Protein Using Optimized RBF Kernel.

PloS one
Intrinsically disordered proteins or, regions perform important biological functions through their dynamic conformations during binding. Thus accurate identification of these disordered regions have significant implications in proper annotation of fu...

Using support vector machines to improve elemental ion identification in macromolecular crystal structures.

Acta crystallographica. Section D, Biological crystallography
In the process of macromolecular model building, crystallographers must examine electron density for isolated atoms and differentiate sites containing structured solvent molecules from those containing elemental ions. This task requires specific know...

PENG: a neural gas-based approach for pharmacophore elucidation. method design, validation, and virtual screening for novel ligands of LTA4H.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
The pharmacophore concept is commonly employed in virtual screening for hit identification. A pharmacophore is generally defined as the three-dimensional arrangement of the structural and physicochemical features of a compound responsible for its aff...

MIC: A deep learning tool for assigning ions and waters in cryo-EM and crystal structures.

Nature communications
At sufficiently high resolution, x-ray crystallography and cryogenic electron microscopy are capable of resolving small spherical map features corresponding to either water or ions. Correct classification of these sites provides crucial insight for u...

Next generation technologies for protein structure determination: challenges and breakthroughs in plant biology applications.

Journal of plant physiology
Advancements in structural biology have significantly deepened our understanding of plant proteins, which are central to critical biological functions such as photosynthesis, metabolism, signal transduction, and structural architechture. Gaining insi...

Ligand identification in CryoEM and X-ray maps using deep learning.

Bioinformatics (Oxford, England)
MOTIVATION: Accurately identifying ligands plays a crucial role in the process of structure-guided drug design. Based on density maps from X-ray diffraction or cryogenic-sample electron microscopy (cryoEM), scientists verify whether small-molecule li...

NucleoFind: a deep-learning network for interpreting nucleic acid electron density.

Nucleic acids research
Nucleic acid electron density interpretation after phasing by molecular replacement or other methods remains a difficult problem for computer programs to deal with. Programs tend to rely on time-consuming and computationally exhaustive searches to re...

Assessment of Protein-Protein Docking Models Using Deep Learning.

Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.)
Protein-protein interactions are involved in almost all processes in a living cell and determine the biological functions of proteins. To obtain mechanistic understandings of protein-protein interactions, the tertiary structures of protein complexes ...
