Modern molecular docking comprises the prediction of pose and affinity. Prediction of docking poses is required for affinity prediction when three-dimensional coordinates of the ligand have not been provided. However, a large number of feature engine...
Drug discovery pipelines typically involve high-throughput screening of large amounts of compounds in a search of potential drugs candidates. As a chemical space of small organic molecules is huge, a "navigation" over it urges for fast and lightweigh...
Understanding the relationship between amino acid sequence and protein function is a long-standing challenge with far-reaching scientific and translational implications. State-of-the-art alignment-based techniques cannot predict function for one-thir...
