Binding affinity prediction of three-dimensional (3D) protein-ligand complexes is critical for drug repositioning and virtual drug screening. Existing approaches usually transform a 3D protein-ligand complex to a two-dimensional (2D) graph, and then ...
The clustering of death receptors (DRs) at the membrane leads to apoptosis. With the goal of treating tumours, multivalent molecular tools that initiate this mechanism have been developed. However, DRs are also ubiquitously expressed in healthy tissu...

Scaffold-hopped (SH) compounds are bioactive compounds structurally different from known active compounds. Identifying SH compounds in the ligand-based approaches has been a central issue in medicinal chemistry, and various molecular representations ...
AlphaFold2 (AF2) models have had wide impact but mixed success in retrospective ligand recognition. We prospectively docked large libraries against unrefined AF2 models of the σ and serotonin 2A (5-HT2A) receptors, testing hundreds of new molecules a...
Classical scoring functions may exhibit low accuracy in determining ligand binding affinity for proteins. The availability of both protein-ligand structures and affinity data make it possible to develop machine-learning models focused on specific pro...
Virtual screening (VS) is one of the well-established approaches in drug discovery which speeds up the search for a bioactive molecule and, reduces costs and efforts associated with experiments. VS helps to narrow down the search space of chemical sp...
