Physics-based docking methods have long been the cornerstone of structure-based virtual screening (VS). However, the emergence of machine learning (ML)-based docking approaches has opened new possibilities for enhancing VS technologies. In this study...
Dual-specificity tyrosine-phosphorylation-regulated kinase 1A (DYRK1A) is implicated in several human diseases, including DYRK1A syndrome, cancer, and neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, making it a relevant therapeutic target. I...
BACKGROUND: Sepsis, a complex inflammatory condition with high mortality rates, lacks effective treatments. This study explores the therapeutic mechanisms of Calculus Bovis in sepsis using network pharmacology and RNA sequencing.
MOTIVATION: Predicting the structure of antibody-antigen complexes is a challenging task with significant implications for the design of better antibody therapeutics. However, the levels of success have remained dauntingly low, particularly when high...
Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) is the central conduit for information transfer in the cell. Identifying potential RNA targets in disease conditions is a challenging task, given the vast repertoire of functional non-coding RNAs in a human cell. A potential dr...
Scoring functions (SFs) of molecular docking is a vital component of structure-based virtual screening (SBVS). Traditional SFs yield their inherent shortage for idealized approximations and simplifications predicting the binding affinity. Complementa...
Even with the significant advances of AlphaFold-Multimer (AF-Multimer) and AlphaFold3 (AF3) in protein complex structure prediction, their accuracy is still not comparable with monomer structure prediction. Efficient and effective quality assessment ...
The bacterial cell wall is crucial for maintaining the integrity of bacterial cells. UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 1-carboxyethylene transferase (MurA) is an important enzyme involved in bacterial cell wall synthesis. Therefore, it is an important target f...
