BACKGROUND: Computational prediction of inhibition efficiency (IE) for inhibitor molecules is a crucial supplementary way to design novel molecules that can efficiently inhibit corrosion onto metallic surfaces.
A restricted Boltzmann machine (RBM) is an unsupervised machine learning bipartite graphical model that jointly learns a probability distribution over data and extracts their relevant statistical features. RBMs were recently proposed for characterizi...

To improve the topical delivery of pilocarpine hydrochloride (PN) to treat glaucoma, flexible nano-liposomes containing PN (PN-FLs) were prepared, optimized and characterized. Artificial neural network (ANN) and response surface methodology (RSM) wer...
In this study, we describe the development of new machine learning models to predict inhibition of the enzyme 3-dehydroquinate dehydratase (DHQD). This enzyme is the third step of the shikimate pathway and is responsible for the synthesis of chorisma...

Parametrization of small organic molecules for classical molecular dynamics simulations is not trivial. The vastness of the chemical space makes approaches using building blocks challenging. The most common approach is therefore an individual paramet...
This work introduces a number of algebraic topology approaches, including multi-component persistent homology, multi-level persistent homology, and electrostatic persistence for the representation, characterization, and description of small molecules...
