Clinical pharmacology and therapeutics
Feb 2, 2018
Deleterious variants in dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD, DPYD gene) can be highly predictive of clinical toxicity to the widely prescribed chemotherapeutic 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). However, there are very limited data pertaining to the functional ...
SAR and QSAR in environmental research
Jan 26, 2018
The aim of this study was to propose a QSAR modelling approach based on the combination of simple competitive learning (SCL) networks with radial basis function (RBF) neural networks for predicting the biological activity of chemical compounds. The p...

Several definitions of molecular complexity exist to facilitate prioritization of lead compounds, to identify diversity-inducing and complexifying reactions, and to guide retrosynthetic searches. In this work, we focus on synthetic complexity and ref...
SAR and QSAR in environmental research
Jan 18, 2018
In this study, a support vector machine (SVM) based multi-species QSAR (quantitative structure-activity relationship) model was developed for predicting the water-plant cuticular polymer matrix membrane (MX) partition coefficient, K of diverse chemic...

Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) is a Tec family kinase with a well-defined role in the B cell receptor (BCR) and Fcγ receptor (FcR) signaling pathways, which makes it a uniquely attractive target for the treatment of autoimmune diseases, such as rheum...
BACKGROUND: The β-Lactamase (BL) enzyme family is an important class of enzymes that plays a key role in bacterial resistance to antibiotics. As the newly identified number of BL enzymes is increasing daily, it is imperative to develop a computationa...
BACKGROUND: Direct prediction of the three-dimensional (3D) structures of proteins from one-dimensional (1D) sequences is a challenging problem. Significant structural characteristics such as solvent accessibility and contact number are essential for...
While genes are defined by sequence, in biological systems a protein's function is largely determined by its three-dimensional structure. Evolutionary information embedded within multiple sequence alignments provides a rich source of data for inferri...

Microwave-assisted aqueous two-phase extraction (MAATPE) was applied for simultaneous extraction and separation of polysaccharides from Sargassum pallidum (SPPs). The optimal extraction parameters, physicochemical properties, and hypoglycemic activit...
This paper describes an analysis of the diversity and chemical toxicity assessment of three chemical libraries of compounds from African flora (the p-ANAPL, AfroMalariaDb, and Afro-HIV), respectively containing compounds exhibiting activities against...
