Protein structures can provide invaluable information, both for reasoning about biological processes and for enabling interventions such as structure-based drug development or targeted mutagenesis. After decades of effort, 17% of the total residues i...
RNA molecules participate in many important biological processes, and they need to fold into well-defined secondary and tertiary structures to realize their functions. Like the well-known protein folding problem, there is also an RNA folding problem....
Neurological disorders affect various aspects of life. Finding drugs for the central nervous system is a very challenging and complex task due to the involvement of the blood-brain barrier, P-glycoprotein, and the drug's high attrition rates. The ava...
CYP27B1, a cytochrome P450-containing hydroxylase enzyme, converts vitamin D precursor calcidiol (25-hydroxycholecalciferol) to its active form calcitriol (1α,25(OH)D). Tyrosine kinase inhibitor such as imatinib is reported to interfere with the acti...
DeepMind presented notably accurate predictions at the recent 14th Critical Assessment of Structure Prediction (CASP14) conference. We explored network architectures that incorporate related ideas and obtained the best performance with a three-track ...
Proteins are essential to life, and understanding their structure can facilitate a mechanistic understanding of their function. Through an enormous experimental effort, the structures of around 100,000 unique proteins have been determined, but this r...
The introduction of a new drug to the commercial market follows a complex and long process that typically spans over several years and entails large monetary costs due to a high attrition rate. Because of this, there is an urgent need to improve this...

We report structural and dynamical properties of liquid water described by the random phase approximation (RPA) correlation together with the exact exchange energy (EXX) within density functional theory. By utilizing thermostated ring polymer molecul...
Chemical-induced hematotoxicity is an important concern in the drug discovery, since it can often be fatal when it happens. It is quite useful for us to give special attention to chemicals which can cause hematotoxicity. In the present study, we focu...
Nowadays, more and more attention has been attracted to develop selective PI3Kγ inhibitors, but the unique structural features of PI3Kγ protein make it a very big challenge. In the present study, a virtual screening strategy based on machine learning...
