A generative adversarial autoencoder for the rational design of potential HIV-1 entry inhibitors able to block CD4-binding site of the viral envelope protein gp120 was developed. To do this, the following studies were carried out: (i) an autoencoder ...

Allosteric drugs have been attracting increasing interest over the past few years. In this context, it is common practice to use high-throughput screening for the discovery of non-natural allosteric drugs. While the discovery stage is supported by a ...

Quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have been developed to simulate molecular systems, where an explicit description of changes in the electronic structure is necessary. However, QM/MM MD simulations are ...
Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are prospective but challenging targets for drug discovery, because screening using traditional small-molecule libraries often fails to identify hits. Recently, we developed a PPI-oriented library comprising 12,593...
This work examines methods for predicting the partition coefficient (log P) for a dataset of small molecules. Here, we use atomic attributes such as radius and partial charge, which are typically used as force field parameters in classical molecular ...

Drug resistance threatens many critical therapeutics through mutations in the drug target. The molecular mechanisms by which combinations of mutations, especially those remote from the active site, alter drug binding to confer resistance are poorly u...

Several experimental studies indicated that large conformational changes, including partial domain unfolding, have a role in the functional mechanisms of the basic helix loop helix Per/ARNT/SIM (bHLH-PAS) transcription factors. Recently, single-molec...
Multi-domain proteins are not only formed through natural evolution but can also be generated by recombinant DNA technology. Because many fusion proteins can enhance the selectivity of cell targeting, these artificially produced molecules, called mul...

The molecular dynamics (MD) simulation technique is among the most broadly used computational methods to investigate atomistic phenomena in a variety of chemical and biological systems. One of the most common (and most uncertain) parametrization step...

The on-going data-science and Artificial Intelligence (AI) revolution offer researchers a fresh set of tools to approach structure-based drug design problems in the computer-aided drug design space. A novel programmatic tool that incorporates and de...
