The EMC acts as a chaperone for membrane proteins.

Nature communications
Structure formation of membrane proteins is error-prone and thus requires chaperones that oversee this essential process in cell biology. The ER membrane protein complex (EMC) is well-defined as a transmembrane domain (TMD) insertase. In this study, ...

Sequence-based virtual screening using transformers.

Nature communications
Protein-ligand interactions play central roles in myriad biological processes and are of key importance in drug design. Deep learning approaches are becoming cost-effective alternatives to high-throughput experimental methods for ligand identificatio...

Augmenting MACCS Keys with Persistent Homology Fingerprints for Protein-Ligand Binding Classification.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
Machine learning has become an essential tool in computational drug design, enabling models to uncover patterns in molecular data and predict protein-ligand interactions. This study introduces a novel approach by integrating persistence images with M...

An in silico to in vivo approach identifies retinoid-X receptor activating tert-butylphenols used in food contact materials.

Scientific reports
The potential for food contact chemicals to disrupt genetic programs in development and metabolism raises concerns. Nuclear receptors (NRs) control many of these programs, and the retinoid-X receptor (RXR) is a DNA-binding partner for one-third of th...

AF3Score: A Score-Only Adaptation of AlphaFold3 for Biomolecular Structure Evaluation.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
Scoring biomolecular complexes remains central to structural modeling efforts. Recent studies suggest that AlphaFold (AF) - a revolutionary deep learning model for biomolecular structure prediction - has implicitly learned an approximate biophysical ...

An iterative strategy to design 4-1BB agonist nanobodies de novo with generative AI models.

Scientific reports
The 4-1BB receptor, a key member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) family, represents a highly promising target for cancer immunotherapy. In this study, we developed a novel in silico pipeline to design VHH domain antibodies targeting 4-1B...

CoBdock-2: enhancing blind docking performance through hybrid feature selection combining ensemble and multimodel feature selection approaches.

Journal of computer-aided molecular design
Identifying orthosteric binding sites and predicting small molecule affinities remains a key challenge in virtual screening. While blind docking explores the entire protein surface, its precision is hindered by the vast search space. Cavity detection...

Inhibiting heme piracy by pathogenic Escherichia coli using de novo-designed proteins.

Nature communications
Iron is an essential nutrient for most bacteria and is often growth-limiting during infection, due to the host sequestering free iron as part of the innate immune response. To obtain the iron required for growth, many bacterial pathogens encode trans...

Machine learning-based QSAR and structure-based virtual screening guided discovery of novel mIDH1 inhibitors from natural products.

Journal of computer-aided molecular design
Mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) have been widely observed in various tumors, such as gliomas and acute myeloid leukemia, and therefore has become one of the current research focal points. Therefore, it is crucial to find inhibitors tha...

Combining the NanaPPI Toolbox and AI-Driven Virtual Inhibitor Screening for the p53-MDM2 Interaction.

Analytical chemistry
High-throughput screening for inhibitors of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) provides vital information for therapeutic intervention in diseases driven by aberrant PPIs. Traditionally, the discovery of PPI inhibitors involves sequential steps: in ...
