In silico prediction of anti-malarial hit molecules based on machine learning methods.

International journal of computational biology and drug design
Machine learning techniques have been widely used in drug discovery and development in the areas of cheminformatics. Aspartyl aminopeptidase (M18AAP) of Plasmodium falciparum is crucial for survival of malaria parasite. We have created predictive mod...

Machine learning assisted design of highly active peptides for drug discovery.

PLoS computational biology
The discovery of peptides possessing high biological activity is very challenging due to the enormous diversity for which only a minority have the desired properties. To lower cost and reduce the time to obtain promising peptides, machine learning ap...

Exploring the relationship between hub proteins and drug targets based on GO and intrinsic disorder.

Computational biology and chemistry
Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) play essential roles in many biological processes. In protein-protein interaction networks, hubs involve in numbers of PPIs and may constitute an important source of drug targets. The intrinsic disorder proteins (I...

Systematic artifacts in support vector regression-based compound potency prediction revealed by statistical and activity landscape analysis.

PloS one
Support vector machines are a popular machine learning method for many classification tasks in biology and chemistry. In addition, the support vector regression (SVR) variant is widely used for numerical property predictions. In chemoinformatics and ...

A new modeling approach for quantifying expert opinion in the drug discovery process.

Statistics in medicine
Expert opinion plays an important role when choosing clusters of chemical compounds for further investigation. Often, the process by which the clusters are assigned to the experts for evaluation, the so-called selection process, and the qualitative r...

Deep neural nets as a method for quantitative structure-activity relationships.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
Neural networks were widely used for quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR) in the 1990s. Because of various practical issues (e.g., slow on large problems, difficult to train, prone to overfitting, etc.), they were superseded by more r...

Bayesian models trained with HTS data for predicting β-haematin inhibition and in vitro antimalarial activity.

Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry
A large quantity of high throughput screening (HTS) data for antimalarial activity has become available in recent years. This includes both phenotypic and target-based activity. Realising the maximum value of these data remains a challenge. In this r...

Identifying predictive features in drug response using machine learning: opportunities and challenges.

Annual review of pharmacology and toxicology
This article reviews several techniques from machine learning that can be used to study the problem of identifying a small number of features, from among tens of thousands of measured features, that can accurately predict a drug response. Prediction ...

Active-learning strategies in computer-assisted drug discovery.

Drug discovery today
High-throughput compound screening is time and resource consuming, and considerable effort is invested into screening compound libraries, profiling, and selecting the most promising candidates for further testing. Active-learning methods assist the s...
