MOTIVATION: Fast and accurate classification of ligand-binding sites in proteins with respect to the class of binding molecules is invaluable not only to the automatic functional annotation of large datasets of protein structures but also to projects...
BACKGROUND: Alzheimer's disease is characterized by a progressive pattern of cognitive and functional impairment, which ultimately leads to death. Computational approaches have played an important role in the context of drug discovery for anti-Alzhei...
The goal of drug design is to discover molecular structures that have suitable pharmacological properties in vast chemical space. In recent years, the use of deep generative models (DGMs) is getting a lot of attention as an effective method of genera...
BACKGROUND: Staphylococcus aureus is a gram-positive spherical bacterium commonly present in nasal fossae and in the skin of healthy people; however, in high quantities, it can lead to complications that compromise health. The pathologies involved in...
