We here introduce Ensemble Optimizer (EnOpt), a machine-learning tool to improve the accuracy and interpretability of ensemble virtual screening (VS). Ensemble VS is an established method for predicting protein/small-molecule (ligand) binding. Unlike...
Structure-based virtual screening is a key tool in early drug discovery, with growing interest in the screening of multi-billion chemical compound libraries. However, the success of virtual screening crucially depends on the accuracy of the binding p...
Predicting protein-ligand binding affinity is a crucial and challenging task in structure-based drug discovery. With the accumulation of complex structures and binding affinity data, various machine-learning scoring functions, particularly those base...
Deciphering the mechanisms governing protein-DNA interactions is crucial for understanding key cellular processes and disease pathways. In this work, we present a powerful deep learning approach that significantly advances the computational predictio...
