Precise modelling and interpretation of bioactivities of ligands targeting G protein-coupled receptors.

ABSTRACT:

Motivation

Accurate prediction and interpretation of ligand bioactivities are essential for virtual screening and drug discovery. Unfortunately, many important drug targets lack experimental data about the ligand bioactivities; this is particularly true for G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), which account for the targets of about a third of drugs currently on the market. Computational approaches with the potential of precise assessment of ligand bioactivities and determination of key substructural features which determine ligand bioactivities are needed to address this issue.

Results

A new method, SED, was proposed to predict ligand bioactivities and to recognize key substructures associated with GPCRs through the coupling of screening for Lasso of long extended-connectivi
