MOTIVATION: Knowledge of protein-ligand binding residues is important for understanding the functions of proteins and their interaction mechanisms. From experimentally solved protein structures, how to accurately identify its potential binding sites ...
MOTIVATION: Fast and accurate classification of ligand-binding sites in proteins with respect to the class of binding molecules is invaluable not only to the automatic functional annotation of large datasets of protein structures but also to projects...
MOTIVATION: Machine learning scoring functions for protein-ligand binding affinity prediction have been found to consistently outperform classical scoring functions. Structure-based scoring functions for universal affinity prediction typically use fe...
INTRODUCTION: The research and development of drugs, related to the central nervous system (CNS) diseases is a long and arduous process with high cost, long cycle and low success rate. Identification of key features based on available CNS drugs is of...
MOTIVATION: Studies have shown that the accuracy of random forest (RF)-based scoring functions (SFs), such as RF-Score-v3, increases with more training samples, whereas that of classical SFs, such as X-Score, does not. Nevertheless, the impact of the...
PrankWeb is an online resource providing an interface to P2Rank, a state-of-the-art method for ligand binding site prediction. P2Rank is a template-free machine learning method based on the prediction of local chemical neighborhood ligandability cent...
MOTIVATION: Fingerprints (FPs) are the most common small molecule representation in cheminformatics. There are a wide variety of FPs, and the Extended Connectivity Fingerprint (ECFP) is one of the best-suited for general applications. Despite the ove...
MOTIVATION: Understanding the specificity of protein receptor-ligand interactions is pivotal for our comprehension of biological mechanisms and systems. Receptor protein families often have a certain level of sequence diversity that converges into fe...
MOTIVATION: The correct identification of ligands in crystal structures of protein complexes is the cornerstone of structure-guided drug design. However, cognitive bias can sometimes mislead investigators into modeling fictitious compounds without so...
MOTIVATION: Structure-based drug discovery methods exploit protein structural information to design small molecules binding to given protein pockets. This work proposes a purely data driven, structure-based approach for imaging ligands as spatial fie...
