Identifying druggable binding sites on proteins is an important and challenging problem, particularly for cryptic, allosteric binding sites that may not be obvious from X-ray, cryo-EM, or predicted structures. The Site-Identification by Ligand Compet...
Generative deep learning models enable data-driven de novo design of molecules with tailored features. Chemical language models (CLM) trained on string representations of molecules such as SMILES have been successfully employed to design new chemical...
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the domain of large resource-intensive data centres that limit access to a small community of developers. Neuromorphic hardware promises greatly improved space and energy efficiency for AI but is presently only capable...

Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a highly targeted, selective and effective technique to cure various types of cancers, with less harm to the healthy cells. In principle, BNCT treatment needs to distribute the boron (B) atoms inside the tumor ...
We here introduce Ensemble Optimizer (EnOpt), a machine-learning tool to improve the accuracy and interpretability of ensemble virtual screening (VS). Ensemble VS is an established method for predicting protein/small-molecule (ligand) binding. Unlike...
Structure-based virtual screening is a key tool in early drug discovery, with growing interest in the screening of multi-billion chemical compound libraries. However, the success of virtual screening crucially depends on the accuracy of the binding p...
Predicting protein-ligand binding affinity is a crucial and challenging task in structure-based drug discovery. With the accumulation of complex structures and binding affinity data, various machine-learning scoring functions, particularly those base...
