In recent decades, artificial intelligence and machine learning have played a significant role in increasing the efficiency of processes across a wide spectrum of industries. When it comes to the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors, numerous too...
Predicting drug-protein interactions (DPIs) for target proteins involved in dopamine pathways is a very important goal in medicinal chemistry. We can tackle this problem using Molecular Docking or Machine Learning (ML) models for one specific protein...
Engineering of GPCR constructs with improved thermostability is a key for successful structural and biochemical studies of this transmembrane protein family, targeted by 40% of all therapeutic drugs. Here we introduce a comprehensive computational ap...

Protein-ligand scoring is an important step in a structure-based drug design pipeline. Selecting a correct binding pose and predicting the binding affinity of a protein-ligand complex enables effective virtual screening. Machine learning techniques c...
Protein kinases are dynamic, adopting different conformational states that are critical for their catalytic activity. We assess a range of structural features derived from the conserved αC helix and DFG motif to define the conformational space of the...
A DNA-binding protein (DNA-BP) is a protein that can bind and interact with a DNA. Identification of DNA-BPs using experimental methods is expensive as well as time consuming. As such, fast and accurate computational methods are sought for predicting...
The Three-dimensional structure of a protein depends on the interaction between their amino acid residues. These interactions are in turn influenced by various biophysical properties of the amino acids. There are several examples of proteins that sha...

Prediction of compound properties from structure via quantitative structure-activity relationship and machine-learning approaches is an important computational chemistry task in small-molecule drug research. Though many such properties are dependent ...
The identification of subtype-selective GPCR (G-protein coupled receptor) ligands is a challenging task. In this study, we developed a computational protocol to find compounds with 5-HTR versus 5-HTR selectivity. Our approach employs the hierarchical...
