Accurate prediction of binding affinity between protein and ligand is a very important step in the field of drug discovery. Although there are many methods based on different assumptions and rules do exist, prediction performance of protein-ligand bi...
Prediction of protein-ligand interactions is a critical step during the initial phase of drug discovery. We propose a novel deep-learning-based prediction model based on a graph convolutional neural network, named GraphBAR, for protein-ligand binding...
Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are prospective but challenging targets for drug discovery, because screening using traditional small-molecule libraries often fails to identify hits. Recently, we developed a PPI-oriented library comprising 12,593...
