Design, synthesis, and bioactivities of novel oxadiazole-substituted pyrazole oximes.

Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters
A series of novel pyrazole oxime derivatives containing a substituted oxadiazole group were designed and synthesized. The bioassay results indicated that some title compounds displayed good acaricidal and insecticidal activities against Tetranychus c...

Recent Progress in Machine Learning-Based Methods for Protein Fold Recognition.

International journal of molecular sciences
Knowledge on protein folding has a profound impact on understanding the heterogeneity and molecular function of proteins, further facilitating drug design. Predicting the 3D structure (fold) of a protein is a key problem in molecular biology. Determi...

Beyond Rotatable Bond Counts: Capturing 3D Conformational Flexibility in a Single Descriptor.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
A new molecular descriptor, nConf, based on chemical connectivity, is presented which captures the accessible conformational space of a molecule. Currently the best available two-dimensional descriptors for quantifying the flexibility of a particular...

Boosting Docking-Based Virtual Screening with Deep Learning.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
In this work, we propose a deep learning approach to improve docking-based virtual screening. The deep neural network that is introduced, DeepVS, uses the output of a docking program and learns how to extract relevant features from basic data such as...

The role of different sampling methods in improving biological activity prediction using deep belief network.

Journal of computational chemistry
Thousands of molecules and descriptors are available for a medicinal chemist thanks to the technological advancements in different branches of chemistry. This fact as well as the correlation between them has raised new problems in quantitative struct...

Performance of Deep and Shallow Neural Networks, the Universal Approximation Theorem, Activity Cliffs, and QSAR.

Molecular informatics
Neural networks have generated valuable Quantitative Structure-Activity/Property Relationships (QSAR/QSPR) models for a wide variety of small molecules and materials properties. They have grown in sophistication and many of their initial problems hav...

ROCS-derived features for virtual screening.

Journal of computer-aided molecular design
Rapid overlay of chemical structures (ROCS) is a standard tool for the calculation of 3D shape and chemical ("color") similarity. ROCS uses unweighted sums to combine many aspects of similarity, yielding parameter-free models for virtual screening. I...

Molecular graph convolutions: moving beyond fingerprints.

Journal of computer-aided molecular design
Molecular "fingerprints" encoding structural information are the workhorse of cheminformatics and machine learning in drug discovery applications. However, fingerprint representations necessarily emphasize particular aspects of the molecular structur...
