Protein Networks02:26

Protein Networks

4.0K
An organism can have thousands of different proteins, and these proteins must cooperate to ensure the health of an organism. Proteins bind to other proteins and form complexes to carry out their functions. Many proteins interact with multiple other proteins creating a complex network of protein interactions.
These interactions can be represented through maps depicting protein-protein interaction networks, represented as nodes and edges. Nodes are circles that are representative of a protein,...

Drug Discovery: Overview

8.1K
Drug discovery is a multifaceted process involving extensive screening, testing, and optimization of lead compounds to identify potential new drugs for therapeutic use. It combines several approaches, including screening large numbers of natural products, chemical modification of known active molecules, identification of new drug targets, and rational design based on biological mechanisms and drug-receptor structure. These approaches are carried out in both academic research laboratories and...

Structure-Activity Relationships and Drug Design

770
Drug design is a dynamic field that involves discovering and developing new medications based on specific biological targets. This process heavily relies on structure-activity relationships (SAR) and quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR) to guide the design and optimization of efficient drugs.
SAR studies the intricate relationship between a drug's chemical structure and biological activity. It focuses on understanding how modifications to a drug's structure can influence...

Protein-protein Interfaces02:04

Protein-protein Interfaces

12.5K
Many proteins form complexes to carry out their functions, making protein-protein interactions (PPIs) essential for an organism's survival. Most PPIs are stabilized by numerous weak noncovalent chemical forces. The physical shape of the interfaces determines the way two proteins interact. Many globular proteins have closely-matching shapes on their surfaces, which form a large number of weak bonds. Additionally, many PPIs occur between two helices or between a surface cleft and a...

Quantitative Aspects of Drug-Receptor Interaction01:30

Quantitative Aspects of Drug-Receptor Interaction

1.0K
The receptor occupancy theory connects a drug's response to the number of occupied receptors. With higher drug concentrations, more receptors are occupied, leading to increased responses. The formation of drug-receptor complexes involves association and dissociation rates, which reach equilibrium when the forward and backward reactions are equal. The equilibrium association constant (Ka) and its inverse, the equilibrium dissociation constant (Kd), indicate drug affinity. Higher Ka and lower...

Area of Science:

  • Computational biology
  • Pharmacology
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Drug repositioning accelerates drug discovery by finding new uses for existing drugs.
  • Computational network approaches are valuable for inferring drug-disease associations.
  • Integrating drug-gene-disease relationships offers a comprehensive view for repositioning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a network-based drug repositioning method using tensor decomposition.
  • To predict drug-gene-disease triple associations and pairwise associations.
  • To improve the efficiency and accuracy of identifying new therapeutic indications for drugs.

Main Methods:

  • Constructed a drug-gene-disease tensor integrating known associations.
  • Employed ensemble generalized tensor decomposition (GTD) and multi-layer perceptron (MLP) for prediction.
  • Utilized chemical structures and ATC codes as drug features for network construction.

Main Results:

  • The ensemble model achieved an AUC of 0.96 for triple association prediction, a 7% improvement over existing methods.
  • Demonstrated superior performance in predicting novel drug-gene-disease relationships.
  • Showcased competitive accuracy for pairwise association predictions (drug-disease, drug-gene, disease-gene).

Conclusions:

  • The proposed network-based ensemble method significantly advances drug repositioning.
  • Incorporating genetic information enhances the prediction of drug-gene-disease associations.
  • This approach offers a more flexible and non-linear modeling of complex biological relationships.
