Artificial Intelligence in Drug Design [Paperback]

This volume looks at applications of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and deep learning (DL) in drug design. The chapters in this book describe how AI/ML/DL approaches can be applied to accelerate and revolutionize traditional drug design approaches such as:  structure- and ligand-based, augmented and multi-objective de novo drug design, SAR and big data analysis, prediction of binding/activity, ADMET, pharmacokinetics and drug-target residence time, precision medicine and selection of favorable chemical synthetic routes. How broadly are these approaches applied and where do they maximally impact productivity today and potentially in the near future. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary software and tools, step-by-step, readily reproducible modeling protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Drug Design: Opportunities and Challenges.- Machine Learning Applied to the Modeling of Pharmacological and ADMET Endpoints.- Fighting COVID-19 with Artificial Intelligence.- Application of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Drug Discovery.- Deep Learning and Computational Chemistry.- Has Drug Design Augmented by Artificial Intelligence Become a Reality?.- Network Driven Drug Discovery.- Predicting Residence Time of GPCR Ligands with Machine Learning.- De Novo Molecular Design with Chemical Language Models.- Deep Neural Networks for QSAR.- Deep Learning in Strulc.
