Evaluating the protein-ligand binding affinity is a substantial part of the computer-aided drug discovery process. Most of the proposed computational methods predict protein-ligand binding affinity using either limited full-length protein 3D structur...
The structure of a protein plays a pivotal role in determining its function. Often, the protein surface's shape and curvature dictate its nature of interaction with other proteins and biomolecules. However, marked by corrugations and roughness, a pro...
This review is focused on several machine learning approaches used in chemoinformatics. Machine learning approaches provide tools and algorithms to improve drug discovery. Many physicochemical properties of drugs like toxicity, absorption, drug-drug ...

The identification of promising lead compounds showing pharmacological activities toward a biological target is essential in early stage drug discovery. With the recent increase in available small-molecule databases, virtual high-throughput screening...
In the living cells, proteins bind small molecules (or "ligands") through a "conformational selection" mechanism, where a subset of protein structures are capable of binding the small molecules well while most other protein structures are not capable...
With the great advancements in experimental data, computational power and learning algorithms, artificial intelligence (AI) based drug design has begun to gain momentum recently. AI-based drug design has great promise to revolutionize pharmaceutical ...
