Characterizing Protein-Ligand Binding Using Atomistic Simulation and Machine Learning: Application to Drug Resistance in HIV-1 Protease.

Journal of chemical theory and computation
Over the past several decades, atomistic simulations of biomolecules, whether carried out using molecular dynamics or Monte Carlo techniques, have provided detailed insights into their function. Comparing the results of such simulations for a few clo...

Deep neural network affinity model for BACE inhibitors in D3R Grand Challenge 4.

Journal of computer-aided molecular design
Drug Design Data Resource (D3R) Grand Challenge 4 (GC4) offered a unique opportunity for designing and testing novel methodology for accurate docking and affinity prediction of ligands in an open and blinded manner. We participated in the beta-secret...

Latest trends in structure based drug design with protein targets.

Advances in protein chemistry and structural biology
Structure based drug designing is an important endeavor in the field of structural bioinformatics. Previously the entire process was dependent on the wet-lab experiments to build libraries of ligand molecules. And the molecules used to be tested to d...

Comprehensive Exploration of Target-specific Ligands Using a Graph Convolution Neural Network.

Machine learning approaches are widely used to evaluate ligand activities of chemical compounds toward potential target proteins. Especially, exploration of highly selective ligands is important for the development of new drugs with higher safety. On...

Integrated structural modeling and super-resolution imaging resolve GPCR oligomers.

Progress in molecular biology and translational science
Formation of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) dimers and higher order oligomers represents a key mechanism in pleiotropic signaling, yet how individual protomers function within oligomers remains poorly understood. For the Class A/rhodopsin subfam...

Development of New Methods Needs Proper Evaluation-Benchmarking Sets for Machine Learning Experiments for Class A GPCRs.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
New computational approaches for virtual screening applications are constantly being developed. However, before a particular tool is used to search for new active compounds, its effectiveness in the type of task must be examined. In this study, we co...

MathDL: mathematical deep learning for D3R Grand Challenge 4.

Journal of computer-aided molecular design
We present the performances of our mathematical deep learning (MathDL) models for D3R Grand Challenge 4 (GC4). This challenge involves pose prediction, affinity ranking, and free energy estimation for beta secretase 1 (BACE) as well as affinity ranki...

Exploring fragment-based target-specific ranking protocol with machine learning on cathepsin S.

Journal of computer-aided molecular design
Cathepsin S (CatS), a member of cysteine cathepsin proteases, has been well studied due to its significant role in many pathological processes, including arthritis, cancer and cardiovascular diseases. CatS inhibitors have been included in D3R-GC3 for...

Nonparametric chemical descriptors for the calculation of ligand-biopolymer affinities with machine-learning scoring functions.

Journal of computer-aided molecular design
The computational prediction of ligand-biopolymer affinities is a crucial endeavor in modern drug discovery and one that still poses major challenges. The choice of the appropriate computational method often reveals itself as a trade-off between accu...
