Drug discovery pipelines nowadays rely on machine learning models to explore and evaluate large chemical spaces. While including 3D structural information is considered beneficial, structural models are hindered by the availability of protein-ligand ...
The phosphorylation of different sites produces a significant effect on the conformational dynamics of KRAS. Gaussian accelerated molecular dynamics (GaMD) simulations were combined with deep learning (DL) to explore the molecular mechanism of the ph...
Allostery is a fundamental mechanism driving biomolecular processes that holds significant therapeutic concern. Our study rigorously investigates how two distinct machine-learning algorithms uniquely classify two already close-to-active DFG-in states...

Currently, antimicrobial resistance constitutes a serious threat to human health. Drugs based on antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) constitute one of the alternatives to address it. Shallow and deep learning (DL)-based models have mainly been built from a...
The introduction of AlphaFold 2 has spurred a revolution in modelling the structure of proteins and their interactions, enabling a huge range of applications in protein modelling and design. Here we describe our AlphaFold 3 model with a substantially...
The advent of single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) has brought forth a new era of structural biology, enabling the routine determination of large biological molecules and their complexes at atomic resolution. The high-resolution structu...
