Over the past decade, deep learning has demonstrated superior performances in solving many problems in various fields of medicine compared with other machine learning methods. To understand how deep learning has surpassed traditional machine learning...
P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is a transmembrane protein that actively transports a wide variety of chemically diverse compounds out of the cell. It is highly associated with the ADMET (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity) properties...
The disruption of large protein-protein (PP) interfaces remains a challenge in targeted therapy. Designing drugs that compete with binding partners is daunting, especially when the structure of the protein complex is unknown. To address the problem w...

GPCRs constitute the largest druggable family having targets for 475 Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved drugs. As GPCRs are of great interest to pharmaceutical industry, enormous efforts are being expended to find relevant and potent GPCR li...
For efficient drug discovery and screening, it is necessary to simplify P-glycoprotein (P-gp) substrate assays and to provide in silico models that predict the transport potential of P-gp. In this study, we developed a simplified in vitro screening m...
Small molecule effectors are essential for drug discovery. Specific molecular recognition, reversible binding and dose-dependency are usually key requirements to ensure utility of a novel chemical entity. However, artefactual frequent-hitter and assa...
