A Comprehensive Cloud-Based Platform for Drug Discovery, Case Study on EGFR-Targeted Glioblastoma Treatment

Abstract Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are significantly transforming drug discovery by allowing the exploration of an extra-large chemical space, which speeds up and reduces risks in the traditionally costly and time-consuming process. The SilicoXplore platform, developed by SilicoScientia Private Limited, exemplifies this progress, providing a complete, end-to-end drug discovery solution that incorporates […]

Structure-Based Discovery of Novel Inhibitors for the R719W Mutant β-Cardiac

Myosin in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Abstract: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is an inherited dysregulation of specific β-cardiac myosin protein functions that causes the sudden mis regulation of myosin heads and increases the heart's contractility. It can lead to major cardiac failure and is seen in the majorly adult generation. The mutations of the β-cardiac myosin protein are […]
