It now hosts 1228 entries with 65 anticancer, 76 antiviral (53 anti-HIV), 327 antifungal 944 antibacterial peptides. second version of our (APD2) allows users to search families (e.g. bacteriocins, cyclotides, or defensins), sources fish, frogs chicken), post-translationally modified peptides amidation, oxidation, lipidation, glycosylation d-amino acids), binding targets membranes,...
We evaluated the capabilities of ten molecular docking programs to predict ligand binding poses (sampling power) and rank affinities (scoring power).
Abstract Protein–protein interactions (PPIs) play an important role in the different functions of cells, but accurate prediction three-dimensional structures for PPIs is still a notoriously difficult task. In this study, HawkDock, free and open accessed web server, was developed to predict analyze PPIs.

Abstract Molecule docking has been regarded as a routine tool for drug discovery, but its accuracy highly depends on the reliability of scoring functions (SFs). With rapid development machine learning (ML) techniques, ML‐based SFs have gradually emerged promising alternative protein–ligand binding affinity prediction and virtual screening, most them shown significantly better performance than wide range classical SFs. Emergence more data‐hungry deep (DL) approaches in recent years further...
Predicting the native or near-native binding pose of a small molecule within protein pocket is an extremely important task in structure-based drug design, especially hit-to-lead and lead optimization phases.
