Protein-ligand scoring is an important step in a structure-based drug design pipeline. Selecting a correct binding pose and predicting the binding affinity of a protein-ligand complex enables effective virtual screening. Machine learning techniques c...
High-performance ligand-based virtual screening (VS) models have been developed using various computational methods, including the deep neural network (DNN) method. There are high expectations for exploration of the advanced capabilities of DNN to im...
The possibility of using the atomic coordinates of protein-ligand complexes to assess binding affinity has a beneficial impact in the early stages of drug development and design. From the computational view, the creation of reliable scoring functions...
Protein kinases are dynamic, adopting different conformational states that are critical for their catalytic activity. We assess a range of structural features derived from the conserved αC helix and DFG motif to define the conformational space of the...
The identification of subtype-selective GPCR (G-protein coupled receptor) ligands is a challenging task. In this study, we developed a computational protocol to find compounds with 5-HTR versus 5-HTR selectivity. Our approach employs the hierarchical...
