  1. 6. Exploring a unique pocket in Galectin-8N by the synthesis of D-galactoside-based benzimidazole inhibitors

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för analys och syntes

    Author : Sid Bartold; [2023]
    Keywords : organic chemistry; synthesis; gal; gal-8; gal-8N; galectin; galectin-8; galectin-8N; inhibitor; drug development; benzimidazole; galactoside; carbohydrate; carbohydrate chemistry; Suzuki-coupling; Chemistry;

    Abstract : Galectins are a family of glycan-binding proteins where galectin-8 is a part of the subgroup known as tandem-repeat type galectins. Galectin-8 is composed of two homologous CRDs, one N- and one C-terminal CRD. As it stands now, galectin-8N has been found to bind to a larger number of glycans than galectin-8C. READ MORE

  3. 7. Intersecting Graph Representation Learning and Cell Profiling : A Novel Approach to Analyzing Complex Biomedical Data

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för farmaceutisk biovetenskap

    Author : Nima Chamyani; [2023]
    Keywords : Graph representation learning; Cell profiling; Biological systems; Network medicine; Graphs; Machine learning techniques; Graph neural networks GNNs ; Protein-Compound-Pathway interactions; Biomarkers; Drug discovery;

    Abstract : In recent biomedical research, graph representation learning and cell profiling techniques have emerged as transformative tools for analyzing high-dimensional biological data. The integration of these methods, as investigated in this study, has facilitated an enhanced understanding of complex biological systems, consequently improving drug discovery. READ MORE

  4. 8. Predicting morphological effect of compounds on COVID-19 infected cells

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Läkemedelsdesign och läkemedelsutveckling

    Author : Viktor Öhrner; [2023]
    Keywords : QSAR; ML; AI; bioinformatics; COVID-19; morphological profiles;

    Abstract : The cost of developing new drugs is high and the aim of computer-assisted drug discovery is to reduce that development cost, either through virtual screening or generating novel compounds. System biology is one approach to drug discovery where the response of a biological system is the subject of study, instead of drug target interaction. READ MORE

  5. 9. Accelerating a Molecular Docking Application by Leveraging Modern Heterogeneous Computing Systems

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Gabin Schieffer; [2023]
    Keywords : Molecular docking; AutoDock; GPU; Tensor Core; Drug Discovery; Molekylär dockning; AutoDock; GPU; Tensor Core; Läkemedelsutveckling;

    Abstract : In drug development, molecular docking methods aim at characterizing the binding of a drug-like molecule to a protein. In a typical drug development process, a docking task is repeated millions of time, which makes optimization efforts essential. READ MORE

  6. 10. Panacea: Predicting anti-aging combinations from expression analysis

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Ashwini Jatti; [2023]
    Keywords : aging; machine learning; drug combinations; rejuvenation; cellular reprogramming;

    Abstract : Identifying interventions, such as drugs, that can counteract the effects of aging is crucial due to the complex nature of the aging process, which involves multiple biological processes. By targeting these processes, interventions have the potential to promote healthy aging. READ MORE
