In silico models based on Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are promising for predicting activities and properties of new molecules. Unfortunately, their inherent black-box character hinders our understanding, as to which structural features are important ...
Despite considerable advances obtained by applying machine learning approaches in protein-ligand affinity predictions, the incorporation of receptor flexibility has remained an important bottleneck. While ensemble docking has been used widely as a so...
In biological systems, Glutamic acid is a crucial amino acid which is used in protein biosynthesis. Carboxylation of glutamic acid is a significant post-translational modification which plays important role in blood coagulation by activating prothrom...
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most detected cancer and the second foremost cause of cancer deaths in the world. Intervention targeting p53 provides potential therapeutic strategies, but thus far no p53-based therapy has been successfully trans...
In silico driven optimization of compound properties related to pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and safety is a key requirement in modern drug discovery. Nowadays, large and harmonized datasets allow to implement deep neural networks (DNNs) as a ...
Scientific investigation on essential oils composition and the related biological profile are continuously growing. Nevertheless, only a few studies have been performed on the relationships between chemical composition and biological data. Herein, th...
The incorporation of unnatural amino acids (Uaas) has provided an avenue for novel chemistries to be explored in biological systems. However, the successful application of Uaas is often hampered by site-specific impacts on protein yield and solubilit...
The vast majority of approved drugs are metabolized by the five major cytochrome P450 (CYP) isozymes, 1A2, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6 and 3A4. Inhibition of CYP isozymes can cause drug-drug interactions with severe pharmacological and toxicological consequences....
CYP27B1, a cytochrome P450-containing hydroxylase enzyme, converts vitamin D precursor calcidiol (25-hydroxycholecalciferol) to its active form calcitriol (1α,25(OH)D). Tyrosine kinase inhibitor such as imatinib is reported to interfere with the acti...
