Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia, representing 60-70% of dementia cases. The enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE) cleaves the ester bonds in acetylcholine and plays an important role in the termination of acetylcholine activity a...
This study unites six popular machine learning approaches to enhance the prediction of a molecular binding affinity between receptors (large protein molecules) and ligands (small organic molecules). Here we examine a scheme where affinity of ligands ...
African swine fever virus (ASFV) causes a highly contagious and severe hemorrhagic viral disease with high mortality in domestic pigs of all ages. Although the virus is harmless to humans, the ongoing ASFV epidemic could have severe economic conseque...
: Structure-based virtual screening (SBVS) is an essential strategy for hit identification. SBVS primarily uses molecular docking, which exploits the protein-ligand binding mode and associated affinity score for compound ranking. Previous studies hav...
Accurate prediction of protein-ligand interactions can greatly promote drug development. Recently, a number of deep-learning-based methods have been proposed to predict protein-ligand binding affinities. However, these methods independently extract t...
The software macHine leArning booSTEd dockiNg (HASTEN) was developed to accelerate structure-based virtual screening using machine learning models. It has been validated using datasets both from literature (12 datasets, each containing three million ...

The docking program PLANTS, which is based on ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithm, has many advanced features for molecular docking. Among them are multiple scoring functions, the possibility to model explicit displaceable water molecules, and th...
As more bioactivity and protein structure data become available, scoring functions (SFs) using machine learning (ML) to leverage these data sets continue to gain further accuracy and broader applicability. Advances in our understanding of the optimal...
A global pandemic has emerged following the appearance of the new severe acute respiratory virus whose official name is the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), strongly affecting the health sector as well as the world econom...
