Calculating absolute binding free energies is challenging and important. In this paper, we test some recently developed metadynamics-based methods and develop a new combination with a Hamiltonian replica-exchange approach. The methods were tested on ...

A novel coronavirus, called 2019-nCoV, was recently found in Wuhan, Hubei Province of China, and now is spreading across China and other parts of the world. Although there are some drugs to treat 2019-nCoV, there is no proper scientific evidence abou...
The industrial revolution that began in the late 1800s has resulted in dramatic changes in the environment, human lifestyle, dietary habits, social structure, and so on. Almost certainly because this rapid evolution has outpaced the ability of the bo...

We present a new approach to estimate the binding affinity from given three-dimensional poses of protein-ligand complexes. In this scheme, every protein-ligand atom pair makes an additive free-energy contribution. The sum of these pairwise contributi...
The SAR Matrix (SARM) approach was originally conceived for the systematic identification of analog series, their structural organization, and graphical structure-activity relationship (SAR) analysis. For structurally related series, SARMs also produ...

In drug development, late stage toxicity issues of a compound are the main cause of failure in clinical trials. In silico methods are therefore of high importance to guide the early design process to reduce time, costs and animal testing. Technical a...

drug design actively seeks to use sets of chemical rules for the fast and efficient identification of structurally new chemotypes with the desired set of biological properties. Fragment-based design tools have been successfully applied in the disco...
INTRODUCTION: Deep discriminative and generative neural-network models are becoming an integral part of the modern approach to ligand-based novel drug discovery. The variety of different architectures of neural networks, the methods of their training...
The discovery of targeted drugs heavily relies on three-dimensional (3D) structures of target proteins. When the 3D structure of a protein target is unknown, it is very difficult to design its corresponding targeted drugs. Although the 3D structures ...
