First report on analysis of chemical space, scaffold diversity, critical structural features of HDAC11 inhibitors.

Molecular diversity
In the histone deacetylase (HDAC) family, HDAC11 is the smallest and a single member under the class IV subtype. It is important as a drug target mainly in cancer, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. The design and development of selective HDAC11 i...

TopCysteineDB: A Cysteinome-wide Database Integrating Structural and Chemoproteomics Data for Cysteine Ligandability Prediction.

Journal of molecular biology
Development of targeted covalent inhibitors and covalent ligand-first approaches have emerged as a powerful strategy in drug design, with cysteines being attractive targets due to their nucleophilicity and relative scarcity. While structural biology ...

Multi-omics identifies OSM-OSMR as a key receptor-ligand in the tumor environment of endometrial adenocarcinoma.

International immunopharmacology
Endometrial adenocarcinoma carries a bleak prognosis, and the molecular markers that evaluate the progression of endometrial adenocarcinoma to advanced stages remain uncertain. Cell-cell communication plays a crucial role in the tumor microenvironmen...

Machine Learning-Augmented Molecular Dynamics Simulations (MD) Reveal Insights Into the Disconnect Between Affinity and Activation of ZTP Riboswitch Ligands.

Angewandte Chemie (International ed. in English)
The challenge of targeting RNA with small molecules necessitates a better understanding of RNA-ligand interaction mechanisms. However, the dynamic nature of nucleic acids, their ligand-induced stabilization, and how conformational changes influence g...

CACHE Challenge #2: Targeting the RNA Site of the SARS-CoV-2 Helicase Nsp13.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
A critical assessment of computational hit-finding experiments (CACHE) challenge was conducted to predict ligands for the SARS-CoV-2 Nsp13 helicase RNA binding site, a highly conserved COVID-19 target. Twenty-three participating teams comprised of co...

CAML: Commutative Algebra Machine Learning─A Case Study on Protein-Ligand Binding Affinity Prediction.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
Recently, Suwayyid and Wei introduced commutative algebra as an emerging paradigm for machine learning and data science. In this work, we propose commutative algebra machine learning (CAML) for the prediction of protein-ligand binding affinities. Spe...

Computer-Aided Drug Discovery for Undruggable Targets.

Chemical reviews
Undruggable targets are those of therapeutical significance but challenging for conventional drug design approaches. Such targets often exhibit unique features, including highly dynamic structures, a lack of well-defined ligand-binding pockets, the p...

AIoptamer: Artificial Intelligence-Driven Aptamer Optimization Pipeline for Targeted Therapeutics in Healthcare.

Molecular pharmaceutics
Aptamers are short, single-stranded DNA or RNA molecules known for their high specificity and affinity toward target biomolecules, making them powerful tools in drug discovery, diagnostics, and biosensing. However, conventional aptamer selection meth...

PrankWeb 4: a modular web server for protein-ligand binding site prediction and downstream analysis.

Nucleic acids research
Knowledge of protein-ligand binding sites (LBSs) is crucial for advancing our understanding of biology and developing practical applications in fields such as medicine or biotechnology. PrankWeb is a web server that allows users to predict LBSs from ...

InDeepNet: a web platform for predicting functional binding sites in proteins using InDeep.

Nucleic acids research
Predicting functional binding sites in proteins is crucial for understanding protein-protein interactions (PPIs) and identifying drug targets. While various computational approaches exist, many fail to assess PPI ligandability, which often involves c...
