Hunting for chemicals with favorable pharmacological, toxicological, and pharmacokinetic properties remains a formidable challenge drug discovery. Deep learning provides us powerful tools to build predictive models that are appropriate the rising amounts of data, but gap between what these neural networks learn human beings can comprehend is growing. Moreover, this may induce distrust restrict deep applications in practice. Here, we introduce new graph network architecture called Attentive...
Abstract PROteolysis TArgeting Chimeras (PROTACs) has been exploited to degrade putative protein targets. However, the antitumor performance of PROTACs is impaired by their insufficient tumour distribution. Herein, we present de novo designed polymeric PROTAC (POLY-PROTAC) nanotherapeutics for tumour-specific degradation. The POLY-PROTACs are engineered covalently grafting small molecular onto backbone an amphiphilic diblock copolymer via disulfide bonds. self-assemble into micellar...
