Recognizing five molecular ligand-binding sites with similar chemical structure.

Journal of computational chemistry
Accurate identification of ligand-binding sites and discovering the protein-ligand interaction mechanism are important for understanding proteins' functions and designing new drugs. Meanwhile, accurate computational prediction and mechanism research ...

Computational methods and tools for binding site recognition between proteins and small molecules: from classical geometrical approaches to modern machine learning strategies.

Journal of computer-aided molecular design
In the current "genomic era" the number of identified genes is growing exponentially. However, the biological function of a large number of the corresponding proteins is still unknown. Recognition of small molecule ligands (e.g., substrates, inhibito...

Graph Convolutional Neural Networks for Predicting Drug-Target Interactions.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
Accurate determination of target-ligand interactions is crucial in the drug discovery process. In this paper, we propose a graph-convolutional (Graph-CNN) framework for predicting protein-ligand interactions. First, we built an unsupervised graph-aut...

Prediction Model with High-Performance Constitutive Androstane Receptor (CAR) Using DeepSnap-Deep Learning Approach from the Tox21 10K Compound Library.

International journal of molecular sciences
The constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) plays pivotal roles in drug-induced liver injury through the transcriptional regulation of drug-metabolizing enzymes and transporters. Thus, identifying regulatory factors for CAR activation is important for...

Practical High-Quality Electrostatic Potential Surfaces for Drug Discovery Using a Graph-Convolutional Deep Neural Network.

Journal of medicinal chemistry
Inspecting protein and ligand electrostatic potential (ESP) surfaces in order to optimize electrostatic complementarity is a key activity in drug design. These ESP surfaces need to reflect the true electrostatic nature of the molecules, which typical...

From Target to Drug: Generative Modeling for the Multimodal Structure-Based Ligand Design.

Molecular pharmaceutics
Chemical space is impractically large, and conventional structure-based virtual screening techniques cannot be used to simply search through the entire space to discover effective bioactive molecules. To address this shortcoming, we propose a generat...

Predicting Drug-Target Interaction Using a Novel Graph Neural Network with 3D Structure-Embedded Graph Representation.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
We propose a novel deep learning approach for predicting drug-target interaction using a graph neural network. We introduce a distance-aware graph attention algorithm to differentiate various types of intermolecular interactions. Furthermore, we extr...

Prediction and Experimental Confirmation of Novel Peripheral Cannabinoid-1 Receptor Antagonists.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
Small molecules targeting peripheral CB1 receptors have therapeutic potential in a variety of disorders including obesity-related, hormonal, and metabolic abnormalities, while avoiding the psychoactive effects in the central nervous system. We applie...

Enhanced Deep-Learning Prediction of Molecular Properties via Augmentation of Bond Topology.

ChemMedChem
Deep learning has made great strides in tackling chemical problems, but still lacks full-fledged representations for three-dimensional (3D) molecular structures for its inner working. For example, the molecular graph, commonly used in chemistry and r...

Hidden bias in the DUD-E dataset leads to misleading performance of deep learning in structure-based virtual screening.

PloS one
Recently much effort has been invested in using convolutional neural network (CNN) models trained on 3D structural images of protein-ligand complexes to distinguish binding from non-binding ligands for virtual screening. However, the dearth of reliab...
