G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are key molecules involved in cellular signaling and are attractive targets for pharmacological intervention. This chapter is designed to explore the range of algorithms used to predict GPCRs' activation states, wh...
In this study we show that protein language models can encode structural and functional information of GPCR sequences that can be used to predict their signaling and functional repertoire. We used the ESM1b protein embeddings as features and the bind...
MOTIVATION: Drug discovery has witnessed intensive exploration of predictive modeling of drug-target physical interactions over two decades. However, a critical knowledge gap needs to be filled for correlating drug-target interactions with clinical o...

Drug-target residence time, the duration of binding at a given protein target, has been shown in some protein families to be more significant for conferring efficacy than binding affinity. To carry out efficient optimization of residence time in drug...
Structure-based virtual screenings (SBVSs) play an important role in drug discovery projects. However, it is still a challenge to accurately predict the binding affinity of an arbitrary molecule binds to a drug target and prioritize top ligands from ...
Determining the drug-target residence time (RT) is of major interest in drug discovery given that this kinetic parameter often represents a better indicator of in vivo drug efficacy than binding affinity. However, obtaining drug-target unbinding rate...
Single-particle tracking (SPT) has become a popular tool to study the intracellular transport of molecules in living cells. Inferring the character of their dynamics is important, because it determines the organization and functions of the cells. For...
MOTIVATION: A large number of newly sequenced proteins are generated by the next-generation sequencing technologies and the biochemical function assignment of the proteins is an important task. However, biological experiments are too expensive to cha...
MOTIVATION: Precise assessment of ligand bioactivities (including IC50, EC50, Ki, Kd, etc.) is essential for virtual screening and lead compound identification. However, not all ligands have experimentally determined activities. In particular, many G...
System-level understanding of the relationships between drugs and targets is very important for enhancing drug research, especially for drug function repositioning. The experimental methods used to determine drug-target interactions are usually time-...
