LumiCharge: Spherical Harmonic Convolutional Networks for Atomic Charge Prediction in Drug Discovery.

The journal of physical chemistry letters
Atomic charge is crucial in drug design for analyzing reactive sites and interactions between ligands and targets. While quantum mechanical methods offer high accuracy, they are generally computationally costly. Conversely, empirical approaches, whil...

Improving Covalent and Noncovalent Molecule Generation via Reinforcement Learning with Functional Fragments.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
Small-molecule drugs play a critical role in cancer therapy by selectively targeting key signaling pathways that drive tumor growth. While deep learning models have advanced drug discovery, there remains a lack of generative frameworks for covalent ...

Multi-omics identifies OSM-OSMR as a key receptor-ligand in the tumor environment of endometrial adenocarcinoma.

International immunopharmacology
Endometrial adenocarcinoma carries a bleak prognosis, and the molecular markers that evaluate the progression of endometrial adenocarcinoma to advanced stages remain uncertain. Cell-cell communication plays a crucial role in the tumor microenvironmen...

Prediction of Ligand-Receptor Interactions Based on CatBoost and Deep Forest and Their Application in Cell-Cell Communication Analysis.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
Cell-to-cell communication (CCC) is prominent for cell growth and development as well as tissue and organ formation. CCC inference can help us to deeply understand cellular interplay and discover potential therapeutic targets for complex diseases. Ce...

In Silico Screening of Small Molecule Inhibitors for Amyloid-β Aggregation.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
The self-aggregation of amyloid-β (Aβ) into fibrils is a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Inhibition of Aβ aggregation with small molecule compounds represents a promising therapeutic strategy for AD. However, designing effective ligands is chal...

Modeling Active-State Conformations of G-Protein-Coupled Receptors Using AlphaFold2 via Template Bias and Explicit Protein Constrains.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
AlphaFold2 and other deep learning tools represent the state of the art for protein structure prediction; however, they are still limited in their ability to model multiple protein conformations. Since the function of many proteins depends on their a...

CrypToth: Cryptic Pocket Detection through Mixed-Solvent Molecular Dynamics Simulations-Based Topological Data Analysis.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
Some functional proteins undergo conformational changes to expose hidden binding sites when a binding molecule approaches their surface. Such binding sites are called cryptic sites and are important targets for drug discovery. However, it is still di...

On the Difficulty to Rescore Hits from Ultralarge Docking Screens.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
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...

From Nuclear Receptors to GPCRs: a Deep Transfer Learning Approach for Enhanced Environmental Estrogen Recognition.

Environmental science & technology
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...

AdptDilatedGCN: Protein-ligand binding affinity prediction based on multi-scale interaction fusion mechanism and dilated GCN.

International journal of biological macromolecules
Predicting protein-ligand binding affinity is crucial for drug discovery. However, existing prediction methods often make insufficient use of the features of proteins and ligands, lack interactions between different information, and have difficulty i...
