ME1 structure Catalytic site Known inhibitors PyMine Study and CADD Approach • Ligand-based approach using ShapeSignature • Structure-based approach using Glide • Assay testing
Developed an innovative and automated tool to integrate and visualize chemical and biological data for drug discovery. PyMine integrates data from six high-quality chemical and biological databases and maps imported structural information onto receptor 3D structure. PyMine imports and/or generates files that can be used directly for drug discovery projects. Summary https://github.com/rrchaudhari/PyMine
To include support for additional chemical/biological databases. To apply inductive logic programming in order to generate and prioritize data driven hypotheses. To automate cheminformatics workflows based on imported structural data to test generated hypothesis. Future Development
