The binding affinity of small molecules to receptor proteins is essential to drug discovery and drug repositioning. Chemical methods are often time-consuming and costly, and models for calculating the binding affinity are imperative. In this study, w...
Phosphine-borane complexes are novel chemical entities with preclinical efficacy in neuronal and ophthalmic disease models. In vitro and in vivo studies showed that the metabolites of these compounds are capable of cleaving disulfide bonds implicated...
Aptamers are single-stranded nucleic acid ligands that bind to target molecules with high affinity and specificity. They are typically discovered by searching large libraries for sequences with desirable binding properties. These libraries, however, ...
The optimization of therapeutic antibodies is time-intensive and resource-demanding, largely because of the low-throughput screening of full-length antibodies (approximately 1 × 10 variants) expressed in mammalian cells, which typically results in fe...

Accurate prediction of binding affinity between protein and ligand is a very important step in the field of drug discovery. Although there are many methods based on different assumptions and rules do exist, prediction performance of protein-ligand bi...
Prediction of protein-ligand interactions is a critical step during the initial phase of drug discovery. We propose a novel deep-learning-based prediction model based on a graph convolutional neural network, named GraphBAR, for protein-ligand binding...
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...
BACKGROUND: Most transcription factors (TFs) compete with nucleosomes to gain access to their cognate binding sites. Recent studies have identified several TF-nucleosome interaction modes including end binding (EB), oriented binding, periodic binding...

Predicting accurate protein-ligand binding affinities is an important task in drug discovery but remains a challenge even with computationally expensive biophysics-based energy scoring methods and state-of-the-art deep learning approaches. Despite th...
Adenosine receptors (ARs) have been demonstrated to be potential therapeutic targets against Parkinson's disease (PD). In the present study, we describe a multistage virtual screening approach that identifies dual adenosine A1 and A2A receptor antago...
