In silico prediction of anti-malarial hit molecules based on machine learning methods.

International journal of computational biology and drug design
Machine learning techniques have been widely used in drug discovery and development in the areas of cheminformatics. Aspartyl aminopeptidase (M18AAP) of Plasmodium falciparum is crucial for survival of malaria parasite. We have created predictive mod...

All-atom 3D structure prediction of transmembrane β-barrel proteins from sequences.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
Transmembrane β-barrels (TMBs) carry out major functions in substrate transport and protein biogenesis but experimental determination of their 3D structure is challenging. Encouraged by successful de novo 3D structure prediction of globular and α-hel...

Prediction of overall in vitro microsomal stability of drug candidates based on molecular modeling and support vector machines. Case study of novel arylpiperazines derivatives.

PloS one
Other than efficacy of interaction with the molecular target, metabolic stability is the primary factor responsible for the failure or success of a compound in the drug development pipeline. The ideal drug candidate should be stable enough to reach i...

Improved feature-based prediction of SNPs in human cytochrome P450 enzymes.

Interdisciplinary sciences, computational life sciences
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) make up the most common form of mutations in human cytochrome P450 enzymes family, and have the potential to bring with different drug responses or specific diseases in individual patients. Here, based on machin...

Recursive Random Forests Enable Better Predictive Performance and Model Interpretation than Variable Selection by LASSO.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
Variable selection is of crucial significance in QSAR modeling since it increases the model predictive ability and reduces noise. The selection of the right variables is far more complicated than the development of predictive models. In this study, e...

PENG: a neural gas-based approach for pharmacophore elucidation. method design, validation, and virtual screening for novel ligands of LTA4H.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
The pharmacophore concept is commonly employed in virtual screening for hit identification. A pharmacophore is generally defined as the three-dimensional arrangement of the structural and physicochemical features of a compound responsible for its aff...

Identifying DNA-binding proteins by combining support vector machine and PSSM distance transformation.

BMC systems biology
BACKGROUND: DNA-binding proteins play a pivotal role in various intra- and extra-cellular activities ranging from DNA replication to gene expression control. Identification of DNA-binding proteins is one of the major challenges in the field of genome...

Types and effects of protein variations.

Human genetics
Variations in proteins have very large number of diverse effects affecting sequence, structure, stability, interactions, activity, abundance and other properties. Although protein-coding exons cover just over 1 % of the human genome they harbor an di...

Beyond current boundaries: Integrating deep learning and AlphaFold for enhanced protein structure prediction from low-resolution cryo-EM maps.

Computational biology and chemistry
Constructing atomic models from cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) maps is a crucial yet intricate task in structural biology. While advancements in deep learning, such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and graph neural networks (GNNs), have sp...

Results of the Protein Engineering Tournament: An Open Science Benchmark for Protein Modeling and Design.

Proteins
The grand challenge of protein engineering is the development of computational models to characterize and generate protein sequences for arbitrary functions. Progress is limited by lack of (1) benchmarking opportunities, (2) large protein function da...
