Recently, there has been significant attention on machine learning algorithms for predictive modeling. Prediction models for enzyme inhibitors are limited, and it is essential to account for chemical biases while developing them. The lack of repeatab...
Scoring functions (SFs) of molecular docking is a vital component of structure-based virtual screening (SBVS). Traditional SFs yield their inherent shortage for idealized approximations and simplifications predicting the binding affinity. Complementa...
Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in inflammation by converting arachidonic acid into prostaglandins. The overexpression of enzyme is associated with conditions such as cancer, arthritis, and Alzheimer's disease (AD), wh...
