In recent years, virtual screening of ultralarge (10) libraries of synthetically accessible compounds (uHTVS) became a popular approach in hit identification. With AI-assisted virtual screening workflows, such as Deep Docking, these protocols might b...
BACKGROUND: Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) is considered a crucial enzyme in type 2 diabetes (T2D) treatment, targeted by inhibitors due to its role in cleaving glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). In this study, a novel DPP4 inhibitor screening strategy ...
Enzyme inhibition plays a crucial role in drug discovery by governing interactions between molecules and distinct enzymatic sites, facilitating the identification of early drug candidates. However, most nanozymes have been limited to single active si...
