Molecular fingerprints are the workhorse in ligand-based drug discovery. In recent years, an increasing number of research papers reported fascinating results on using deep neural networks to learn 2D molecular representations as fingerprints. It is ...
Ensemble docking has provided an inexpensive method to account for receptor flexibility in molecular docking for virtual screening. Unfortunately, as there is no rigorous theory to connect the docking scores from multiple structures to measured activ...

In ligand-based virtual screening, high-throughput screening (HTS) data sets can be exploited to train classification models. Such models can be used to prioritize yet untested molecules, from the most likely active (against a protein target of inter...
INTRODUCTION: Deep discriminative and generative neural-network models are becoming an integral part of the modern approach to ligand-based novel drug discovery. The variety of different architectures of neural networks, the methods of their training...
