Human dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (hDHODH) is a flavin mononucleotide-dependent enzyme that can limit de novo pyrimidine synthesis, making it a therapeutic target for diseases such as autoimmune disorders and cancer. In this study, using the docking...
Generative machine learning models offer a novel strategy for chemogenomics and de novo drug design, allowing researchers to streamline their exploration of the chemical space and concentrate on specific regions of interest. In cases with limited inh...
Thymidylate kinase (TMK) is a pivotal enzyme in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), crucial for phosphorylating thymidine monophosphate (dTMP) to thymidine diphosphate (dTDP), thereby playing a critical role in DNA biosynthesis. Dysregulation or inhibi...
Xanthine oxidase (XO) inhibitory peptides can prevent XO-mediated hyperuricemia. Currently, QSAR about XO inhibitory peptides with different lengths remains to be enriched. Here, XO inhibitory peptides were obtained from porcine visceral proteins thr...
Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) and tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (TDO) are attractive drug targets for cancer immunotherapy. After disappointing results of the epacadostat as a selective IDO inhibitor in phase III clinical trials, there is much inter...
