Discovery of high affinity inhibitors of Leishmania donovani N-myristoyltransferase [PDF]
N-Myristoyltransferase (NMT) is a potential drug target in Leishmania parasites. Scaffold-hopping from published inhibitors yielded the serendipitous discovery of a chemotype selective for Leishmania donovani NMT; development led to high affinity ...

SAM-DTA: a sequence-agnostic model for drug–target binding affinity prediction
Abstract Drug–target binding affinity prediction is a fundamental task for drug discovery and has been studied for decades. Most methods follow the canonical paradigm that processes the inputs of the protein (target) and the ligand (drug) separately and then combines them together. In this study we demonstrate, surprisingly, that a model

Binding, thermodynamics, and selectivity of a non-peptide antagonist to the melanocortin-4 receptor [PDF]
The melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) is a potential drug target for treatment of obesity, anxiety, depression, and sexual dysfunction. Crystal structures for MC4R are not yet available, which has hindered successful structure-based drug design.

Sequence-based drug-target affinity prediction using weighted graph neural networks
Background Affinity prediction between molecule and protein is an important step of virtual screening, which is usually called drug-target affinity (DTA) prediction. Its accuracy directly influences the progress of drug development.
