In the current "genomic era" the number of identified genes is growing exponentially. However, the biological function of a large number of the corresponding proteins is still unknown. Recognition of small molecule ligands (e.g., substrates, inhibito...
The prediction of cell-lines sensitivity to a given set of compounds is a very important factor in the optimization of in-vitro assays. To date, the most common prediction strategies are based upon machine learning or other quantitative structure-act...

The constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) plays pivotal roles in drug-induced liver injury through the transcriptional regulation of drug-metabolizing enzymes and transporters. Thus, identifying regulatory factors for CAR activation is important for...
Chemical space is impractically large, and conventional structure-based virtual screening techniques cannot be used to simply search through the entire space to discover effective bioactive molecules. To address this shortcoming, we propose a generat...
