Improving the predictive performance of binding affinities and poses for protein–cyclic peptide complexes through fine-tuned MM/PBSA(GBSA)-based methods

Abstract Cyclic peptides represent a highly promising class of biopharmaceutical scaffolds. The screening of cyclic peptides against protein targets can be greatly facilitated using computational approaches, especially molecular docking. However, it remains a crucial challenge to accurately predict protein–cyclic pepti...

MetalloDock: Decoding Metalloprotein-Ligand Interactions via Physics-Aware Deep Learning for Metalloprotein Drug Discovery.

Accurate prediction of metalloprotein-ligand interactions is critical for metalloprotein-targeted drug discovery. Conventional docking tools and existing deep learning (DL) models fail to reliably capture metal-ligand interactions, hampering the discovery of potent metalloprotein inhibitors. Here, we propose MetalloDoc...
