Visualization and Interpretation of Support Vector Machine Activity Predictions.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
Support vector machines (SVMs) are among the preferred machine learning algorithms for virtual compound screening and activity prediction because of their frequently observed high performance levels. However, a well-known conundrum of SVMs (and other...

Machine-learning scoring functions for identifying native poses of ligands docked to known and novel proteins.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: Molecular docking is a widely-employed method in structure-based drug design. An essential component of molecular docking programs is a scoring function (SF) that can be used to identify the most stable binding pose of a ligand, when boun...

Multi-Step Protocol for Automatic Evaluation of Docking Results Based on Machine Learning Methods--A Case Study of Serotonin Receptors 5-HT(6) and 5-HT(7).

Journal of chemical information and modeling
Molecular docking, despite its undeniable usefulness in computer-aided drug design protocols and the increasing sophistication of tools used in the prediction of ligand-protein interaction energies, is still connected with a problem of effective resu...

Clustering molecular dynamics trajectories for optimizing docking experiments.

Computational intelligence and neuroscience
Molecular dynamics simulations of protein receptors have become an attractive tool for rational drug discovery. However, the high computational cost of employing molecular dynamics trajectories in virtual screening of large repositories threats the f...

BgN-Score and BsN-Score: bagging and boosting based ensemble neural networks scoring functions for accurate binding affinity prediction of protein-ligand complexes.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: Accurately predicting the binding affinities of large sets of protein-ligand complexes is a key challenge in computational biomolecular science, with applications in drug discovery, chemical biology, and structural biology. Since a scorin...

PENG: a neural gas-based approach for pharmacophore elucidation. method design, validation, and virtual screening for novel ligands of LTA4H.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
The pharmacophore concept is commonly employed in virtual screening for hit identification. A pharmacophore is generally defined as the three-dimensional arrangement of the structural and physicochemical features of a compound responsible for its aff...

The ligand binding mechanism to purine nucleoside phosphorylase elucidated via molecular dynamics and machine learning.

Nature communications
The study of biomolecular interactions between a drug and its biological target is of paramount importance for the design of novel bioactive compounds. In this paper, we report on the use of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and machine learning to...

A comparative study of family-specific protein-ligand complex affinity prediction based on random forest approach.

Journal of computer-aided molecular design
The assessment of binding affinity between ligands and the target proteins plays an essential role in drug discovery and design process. As an alternative to widely used scoring approaches, machine learning methods have also been proposed for fast pr...

Supervised machine learning and molecular docking modeling to identify potential Anti-Parkinson's agents.

Journal of molecular graphics & modelling
Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative condition that affects the brain's neurons, and causes malfunction of nerve cells and their death. A neurotransmitter called dopamine interacts with the part of the brain in charge of coordination and moveme...
