Allosteric compounds offer an alternative mode of inhibition to orthosteric compounds with opportunities for selectivity and noncompetition. Structure-based drug design (SBDD) of allosteric compounds introduces complications compared to their orthost...
Protein sequence design in the context of small molecules, nucleotides and metals is critical to enzyme and small-molecule binder and sensor design, but current state-of-the-art deep-learning-based sequence design methods are unable to model nonprote...

Opioids exert their analgesic effect by binding to the µ opioid receptor (MOR), which initiates a downstream signaling pathway, eventually inhibiting pain transmission in the spinal cord. However, current opioids are addictive, often leading to overd...
Understanding protein structures can facilitate the development of therapeutic drugs. Traditionally, protein structures have been determined through experimental approaches such as X-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy, and cryo-electron microscopy...
