A computational approach for the design of a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) specific Cyanobacterial toxin microcystin-LR is presented. By using molecular modeling software, virtual library functional monomers was designed and screened against target toxin, employed as template. The giving highest binding energy were selected used in simulated annealing (molecular dynamics) process to investigate their interaction with stoichiometric ratio observed from study MIP preparation...

A technique for coating of microplate wells with a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP), specific epinephrine, is presented. 3-Aminophenylboronic acid was polymerized in the presence epinephrine using oxidation monomer by ammonium persulfate. This process resulted grafting thin layer onto polystyrene surface microplates. The affinity determined an enzyme-linked assay conjugate horseradish peroxidase and norepinephrine (HRP-N). It found that imprinting increased toward HRP-N epinephrine....

The effects of an ionic base, tetrabutylammonium hydroxide (TBAH), and amine piperidine, on the direct synthesis pyridine-3,5-dicarbonitriles using a multicomponent reaction (MCR) from aldehydes, malononitrile, thiols were systematically investigated. base showed better results when MCR was performed in ethanol, whereas employing acetonitrile resulted similar yields but much shorter time. A modified protocol to overcome difficulty via sterically hindered aldehydes either realized by changing...

A Bayesian inference network (BIN) provides an interesting alternative to existing tools for similarity-based virtual screening. The BIN is particularly effective when the active molecules being sought have a high degree of structural homogeneity but has been found perform less well with structurally heterogeneous sets actives. In this paper, we introduce model, called belief (BBN), that seeks overcome limitation approach. Simulated screening experiments MDDR, WOMBAT and MUV data show BBN...

Reaction classification has often been considered an important task for many different applications, and traditionally accomplished using hand-coded rule-based approaches. However, the availability of large collections reactions enables data-driven approaches to be developed. We present development validation a 336-class machine learning-based model integrated within Conformal Prediction (CP) framework associate reaction class predictions with confidence estimations. also propose approach...

A new method for the postprocessing of docking outputs has been developed, based on encoding putative 3D binding modes (docking solutions) as ligand−protein interactions into simple bit strings, a analogous to structural interaction fingerprint. Instead employing traditional scoring functions, uses series new, knowledge-based scores derived from similarity strings each solution that known reference mode.
