Prospective de novo drug design with deep interactome learning.

Nature communications
De novo drug design aims to generate molecules from scratch that possess specific chemical and pharmacological properties. We present a computational approach utilizing interactome-based deep learning for ligand- and structure-based generation of dru...

Molecular Docking Improved with Human Spatial Perception Using Virtual Reality.

IEEE transactions on visualization and computer graphics
Adaptive steered molecular dynamics (ASMD) is a computational biophysics method in which an external force is applied to a selected set of atoms or a specific reaction coordinate to induce a particular molecular motion. Virtual reality (VR) based met...

PT-Finder: A multi-modal neural network approach to target identification.

Computers in biology and medicine
Efficient target identification for bioactive compounds, including novel synthetic analogs, is crucial for accelerating the drug discovery pipeline. However, the process of target identification presents significant challenges and is often expensive,...

Machine learning approaches to predict TAS2R receptors for bitterants.

Biotechnology and bioengineering
Bitter taste involves the detection of diverse chemical compounds by a family of G protein-coupled receptors, known as taste receptor type 2 (TAS2R). It is often linked to toxins and harmful compounds and in particular bitter taste receptors particip...

Inferring molecular inhibition potency with AlphaFold predicted structures.

Scientific reports
Even though in silico drug ligand-based methods have been successful in predicting interactions with known target proteins, they struggle with new, unassessed targets. To address this challenge, we propose an approach that integrates structural data ...

Advancing Ligand Docking through Deep Learning: Challenges and Prospects in Virtual Screening.

Accounts of chemical research
Molecular docking, also termed ligand docking (LD), is a pivotal element of structure-based virtual screening (SBVS) used to predict the binding conformations and affinities of protein-ligand complexes. Traditional LD methodologies rely on a search a...

Machine learning-aided search for ligands of P2Y and other P2Y receptors.

Purinergic signalling
The P2Y receptor, activated by uridine diphosphate (UDP), is a target for antagonists in inflammatory, neurodegenerative, and metabolic disorders, yet few potent and selective antagonists are known to date. This prompted us to use machine learning as...

Directional Δ Neural Network (DrΔ-Net): A Modular Neural Network Approach to Binding Free Energy Prediction.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
The protein-ligand binding free energy is a central quantity in structure-based computational drug discovery efforts. Although popular alchemical methods provide sound statistical means of computing the binding free energy of a large breadth of syste...

Investigating the Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Agonist/Antagonist Conformational Switch Using Well-Tempered Metadynamics Simulations.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is a ligand-dependent transcription factor that mediates biological signals to control various complicated cellular functions. It plays a crucial role in environmental sensing and xenobiotic metabolism. Dysregulati...

Ligand-based pharmacophore modeling and machine learning for the discovery of potent aurora A kinase inhibitory leads of novel chemotypes.

Molecular diversity
Aurora-A (AURKA) is serine/threonine protein kinase involved in the regulation of numerous processes of cell division. Numerous studies have demonstrated strong association between AURKA and cancer. AURKA is overexpressed in many cancers, such as col...
