Molecular dynamics simulations of protein receptors have become an attractive tool for rational drug discovery. However, the high computational cost of employing molecular dynamics trajectories in virtual screening of large repositories threats the f...
The study of biomolecular interactions between a drug and its biological target is of paramount importance for the design of novel bioactive compounds. In this paper, we report on the use of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and machine learning to...
Variations in proteins have very large number of diverse effects affecting sequence, structure, stability, interactions, activity, abundance and other properties. Although protein-coding exons cover just over 1 % of the human genome they harbor an di...

Investigating the properties of protons in water is essential for understanding many chemical processes in aqueous solution. While important insights can in principle be gained by accurate and well-established methods like ab initio molecular dynamic...
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.
Membrane protein folding in the viscous microenvironment of a lipid bilayer is an inherently slow process that challenges experiments and computational efforts alike. The folding kinetics is moreover associated with topological modulations of the bio...
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...
