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...
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 ...
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...

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...
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...
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...
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 ...
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...
