Deep learning is an important branch of artificial intelligence that has been successfully applied into medicine and two-dimensional ligand design. The three-dimensional (3D) generation in the 3D pocket protein target interesting challenging issue for drug design by deep learning. Here, MolAICal software introduced to supply a way generating drugs targets combining with merits model classical algorithm. mainly contains two modules In first module MolAICal, it employs genetic algorithm,...
Abstract De novo drug design is a stationary way to build novel ligands in the confined pocket of receptor by assembling atoms or fragments, while molecular dynamics (MD) simulation dynamical study interaction mechanism between and receptors based on force field. MD are effective tools for discovery. With development technology, deep learning methods, interpretable machine (IML) have emerged research area design. Deep methods IML can be used further improve efficiency accuracy de...
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a clinical therapeutic target to treat subset of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring EGFR mutants. However, some patients with similar kind mutation show intrinsic resistance tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI). It indicates that other key molecules are involved in the survival these cells. We showed here 2-[(aminocarbonyl)amino]-5 -(4-fluorophenyl)-3- thiophenecarboxamide (TPCA-1), previously reported inhibitor IκB kinases (IKK), blocked...
Most proinflammatory actions of C-reactive protein (CRP) are only expressed following dissociation its native pentameric assembly into monomeric form (mCRP). However, little is known about what underlies the greatly enhanced activities mCRP. Here we show that a single sequence motif, i.e. cholesterol binding (CBS; a.a. 35–47), responsible for mediating interactions mCRP with diverse ligands. The to lipoprotein component ApoB, complement C1q, extracellular matrix components fibronectin and...
Recently, small-molecule compounds have been reported to block the PD-1/PD-L1 interaction by inducing dimerization of PD-L1. All these inhibitors had a common scaffold and interacted with cavity formed two PD-L1 monomers. This special interactive mode provided clues for structure-based drug design, however, also showed limitations discovery new scaffolds. In this study, we revealed structure-activity relationship current targeting predicting their binding unbinding mechanism via conventional...
The fairness of long-term self-renewal and robust cell proliferation limits the applications human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) in regenerative medicine. Inducing hMSCs from human-induced pluripotent (hiPSCs), which have advantages autogenous no number issues, is highly valuable. However, current induction methods using FBS-containing culture medium problems, including immunogenicity, microbial contamination, low efficiency. To solve these we propose a chemically defined protocol...
The reported crystal structures of β2 adrenergic receptor (β2AR) reveal that the open and closed states water channel are correlated with inactive active conformations β2AR. However, more details about process by which affected to conformational change β2AR remain illusive. In this work, molecular dynamics simulations performed study dynamical induced inverse agonist ICI 118,551. Markov state model analysis free energy calculation employed explore close channel. simulation results show...
Abstract As co‐chaperones of the 90‐kDa heat shock protein(HSP90), FK506 binding protein 51 (FKBP51) and 52 (FKBP52) modulate maturation steroid hormone receptor through their specific FK1 domains (FKBP12‐like domain 1). The inhibitors targeting are potential therapies for endocrine‐related physiological disorders. However, structural conservation between FKBP51 FKBP52 make it difficult to obtain satisfactory selectivity in FK506‐based drug design. Fortunately, a series iFit ligands...
Artificial intelligence can train the related known drug data into deep learning models for design, while classical algorithms design drugs through established and predefined procedures. Both have their merits design. Here, webserver WADDAICA is built to employ advantage of model The mainly contains two modules. In first module, provides scaffold hopping compounds modify or new novel drugs. which used in shows a good scoring power based on PDBbind database. second supplies functions...
