Convex-PL: a novel knowledge-based potential for protein-ligand interactions deduced from structural databases using convex optimization.

Journal of computer-aided molecular design
We present a novel optimization approach to train a free-shape distance-dependent protein-ligand scoring function called Convex-PL. We do not impose any functional form of the scoring function. Instead, we decompose it into a polynomial basis and ded...

Identifying novel factor XIIa inhibitors with PCA-GA-SVM developed vHTS models.

European journal of medicinal chemistry
There currently is renewed interest in blood clotting Factor XII as a potential target for thrombosis inhibition. Historically untargeted, there is little drug information with which to start drug candidate searches. Typical high-throughput screening...

Bioactivity and structure-activity relationship of cinnamic acid derivatives and its heteroaromatic ring analogues as potential high-efficient acaricides against Psoroptes cuniculi.

Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters
A series of cinnamic acid derivatives and its heteroaromatic ring analogues were synthesized and evaluated for acaricidal activity in vitro against Psoroptes cuniculi, a mange mite. Among them, eight compounds showed the higher activity with median l...

Bias-Free Chemically Diverse Test Sets from Machine Learning.

ACS combinatorial science
Current benchmarking methods in quantum chemistry rely on databases that are built using a chemist's intuition. It is not fully understood how diverse or representative these databases truly are. Multivariate statistical techniques like archetypal an...

Machine-Learning-Assisted Approach for Discovering Novel Inhibitors Targeting Bromodomain-Containing Protein 4.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
Bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4) is implicated in the pathogenesis of a number of different cancers, inflammatory diseases and heart failure. Much effort has been dedicated toward discovering novel scaffold BRD4 inhibitors (BRD4is) with differ...

Machine learning reveals a non-canonical mode of peptide binding to MHC class II molecules.

Immunology
MHC class II molecules play a fundamental role in the cellular immune system: they load short peptide fragments derived from extracellular proteins and present them on the cell surface. It is currently thought that the peptide binds lying more or les...

Novel Imidazo[4,5-c][1,2,6]thiadiazine 2,2-dioxides as antiproliferative trypanosoma cruzi drugs: Computational screening from neural network, synthesis and in vivo biological properties.

European journal of medicinal chemistry
A new family of imidazo[4,5-c][1,2,6]thiadiazine 2,2-dioxide with antiproliferative Trypanosoma cruzi properties was identified from a neural network model published by our group. The synthesis and evaluation of this new class of trypanocidal agents ...

Improved prediction of protein-protein interactions using novel negative samples, features, and an ensemble classifier.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
Computational methods are employed in bioinformatics to predict protein-protein interactions (PPIs). PPIs and protein-protein non-interactions (PPNIs) display different levels of development, and the number of PPIs is considerably greater than that o...

Study of Structure-active Relationship for Inhibitors of HIV-1 Integrase LEDGF/p75 Interaction by Machine Learning Methods.

Molecular informatics
HIV-1 integrase (IN) is a promising target for anti-AIDS therapy, and LEDGF/p75 is proved to enhance the HIV-1 integrase strand transfer activity in vitro. Blocking the interaction between IN and LEDGF/p75 is an effective way to inhibit HIV replicati...

Practical application of the Average Information Content Maximization (AIC-MAX) algorithm: selection of the most important structural features for serotonin receptor ligands.

Molecular diversity
The Average Information Content Maximization algorithm (AIC-MAX) based on mutual information maximization was recently introduced to select the most discriminatory features. Here, this methodology was applied to select the most significant bits from ...
