Abstract

In silico modeling is a crucial milestone in modern drug design and development. Although computer-aided approaches in this field are well-studied, the application of deep learning methods in this research area is at the beginning. In this work, we present an original deep neural network (DNN) architecture named RANC (Reinforced Adversarial Neural Computer) for the de novo design of novel small-molecule organic structures based on the generative adversarial network (GAN) paradigm and reinforcement learning (RL). As a generator RANC uses a differentiable neural computer (DNC), a category of neural networks, with increased generation capabilities due to the addition of an explicit memory bank, which can mitigate common problems found in adversarial settings. The comparative results have shown that RANC trained on the SMILES string representation of the molecules outperforms its first DNN-based counterpart ORGANIC by several metrics relevant to drug discovery: the number of unique structures, passing medicinal chemistry filters (MCFs), Muegge criteria, and high QED scores. RANC is able to generate structures that match the distributions of the key chemical features/descriptors (e.g., MW, logP, TPSA) and lengths of the SMILES strin...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule.
