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 ...
With the recent explosion of chemical libraries beyond a billion molecules, more efficient virtual screening approaches are needed. The Deep Docking (DD) platform enables up to 100-fold acceleration of structure-based virtual screening by docking onl...

Computational drug design relies on the calculation of binding strength between two biological counterparts especially a chemical compound, i.e., a ligand, and a protein. Predicting the affinity of protein-ligand binding with reasonable accuracy is c...
Despite considerable advances obtained by applying machine learning approaches in protein-ligand affinity predictions, the incorporation of receptor flexibility has remained an important bottleneck. While ensemble docking has been used widely as a so...
Highly accurate protein structure predictions by deep neural networks such as AlphaFold2 and RoseTTAFold have tremendous impact on structural biology and beyond. Here, we show that, although these deep learning approaches have originally been develop...

Apoptosis plays an essential role in maintaining cellular homeostasis and preventing cancer progression. Bcl-xL, an anti-apoptotic protein, is an important modulator of the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway and is a promising target for anticancer ther...
One important aspect of protein function is the binding of proteins to ligands, including small molecules, metal ions, and macromolecules such as DNA or RNA. Despite decades of experimental progress many binding sites remain obscure. Here, we propose...
