Docking-based virtual screening tools customized to mine ultralarge chemical spaces are consistently reported to yield both higher hit rates and more potent ligands than that achieved by conventional docking of smaller million-sized compound librarie...
Environmental estrogens (EEs), as typical endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), can bind to classic estrogen receptors (ERs) to induce genomic effects, as well as to G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER) located on the membrane, thereby inducin...
