BACKGROUND: One key step in the development of inhibitors for an enzyme is the application of computational methodologies to predict protein-ligand interactions. The abundance of structural and ligand-binding information for HIV-1 protease opens up t...
System-level understanding of the relationships between drugs and targets is very important for enhancing drug research, especially for drug function repositioning. The experimental methods used to determine drug-target interactions are usually time-...

BACKGROUND: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is one of the most common lethal neurodegenerative disorders having impact on the lives of millions of people worldwide. The disease lacks effective treatment options and the unavailability of the drugs to cure th...
N-Myristoyltransferase (NMT) catalyzes the transfer of myristate to the amino-terminal glycine of a subset of proteins, a co-translational modification involved in trafficking substrate proteins to membrane locations, stabilization and protein-protei...

BACKGROUND: Docking allows to predict ligand binding to proteins, since the 3D-structure for the target is available. Several docking studies have been carried out to identify potential ligands for drug targets. Many of these studies resulted in the ...
INTRODUCTION: The use of computational tools in the early stages of drug development has increased in recent decades. Machine learning (ML) approaches have been of special interest, since they can be applied in several steps of the drug discovery met...
