Modern molecular docking comprises the prediction of pose and affinity. Prediction of docking poses is required for affinity prediction when three-dimensional coordinates of the ligand have not been provided. However, a large number of feature engine...
Structure-based pharmacophore models are often developed by selecting a single protein-ligand complex with good resolution and better binding affinity data which prevents the analysis of other structures having a similar potential to act as better te...
Since December 2019, SARS-CoV-2 has continued to spread rapidly around the world. The effective drugs may provide a long-term strategy to combat this virus. The main protease (Mpro) and papain-like protease (PLpro) are two important targets for the ...
