Deep learning-based dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitor screening, experimental validation, and GaMD/LiGaMD analysis.

BMC biology
BACKGROUND: Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) is considered a crucial enzyme in type 2 diabetes (T2D) treatment, targeted by inhibitors due to its role in cleaving glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). In this study, a novel DPP4 inhibitor screening strategy ...

Integrative machine learning and molecular simulation approaches identify GSK3β inhibitors for neurodegenerative disease therapy.

Scientific reports
Neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs), including Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD), are a growing global health concern, especially among the elderly, posing significant challenges to well-being and survival. GSK3β, a serine/threonine...
