Leveraging AlphaFold models to predict androgenic effects of endocrine-disrupting chemicals through zebrafish androgen receptor analysis.

Toxicology mechanisms and methods
The androgen receptor (AR) activation by androgens is vital for tissue development, sexual differentiation, and reproductive attributes in zebrafish (). However, our understanding of the molecular mechanisms behind their activation remains limited. I...

Fine-Tuned Deep Transfer Learning Models for Large Screenings of Safer Drugs Targeting Class A GPCRs.

Biochemistry
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) remain a focal point of research due to their critical roles in cell signaling and their prominence as drug targets. However, directly linking drug efficacy to the receptor-mediated activation of specific intracell...

TrGPCR: GPCR-Ligand Binding Affinity Prediction Based on Dynamic Deep Transfer Learning.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
Predicting G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) -ligand binding affinity plays a crucial role in drug development. However, determining GPCR-ligand binding affinities is time-consuming and resource-intensive. Although many studies used data-driven metho...

Development of DeepPQK and DeepQK sequence-based deep learning models to predict protein-ligand affinity and application in the directed evolution of ferulic esterase DLfae4.

International journal of biological macromolecules
Affinity plays an essential role in the rate and stability of enzyme-catalyzed reactions, thus directly impacting the catalytic activity. In general, the predictive method for protein-ligand binding affinity mainly relies on high-resolution protein c...
