BACKGROUND: In previous work, we built the Drug Ontology (DrOn) to support comparative effectiveness research use cases. Here, we have updated our representation of ingredients to include both active ingredients (and their strengths) and excipients. ...
Matrix Metalloproteases (MMPs) are an important family of proteases that play crucial roles in key cellular and disease processes. Therefore, MMPs constitute important targets for drug design, development and delivery. Advanced proteomic technologies...
To understand the mechanism for assembly of Lys-linked polyubiquitin degradation signals, we previously demonstrated that the E6AP/UBE3A ligase harbors two functionally distinct E2∼ubiquitin-binding sites: a high-affinity Site 1 required for E6AP Cys...
BACKGROUND: Determination or prediction of the Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and Excretion (ADME) properties of drug candidates and drug-induced toxicity plays crucial roles in drug discovery and development. Metabolism is one of the most com...
Genetic mutations leading to the development of various diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, and neurodegenerative disorders, can be attributed to multiple mechanisms and exposure to diverse environments. These disorders further increase gene mutation...
Cytochrome P450 enzymes are a superfamily of enzymes responsible for the metabolism of a variety of medicines and xenobiotics. Among the Cytochrome P450 family, five isozymes that include 1A2, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, and 3A4 are most important for the metabo...
