Chemical con artists foil drug discovery

Molecular Design

My main criticism of BW2014 that is that the rhetoric is not supported by data and I’ve always seen the article as something of a propaganda piece. Interference with read-out and undesirable MoAs are very different problems in drug discovery and the failure to recognize this point is a serious deficiency that is shared by BW2014 and BH2010.

New image-based cellular profiling tool peers deeply into metabolic biology

Broad Institute

The researchers also looked at the tool’s ability to detect changes in cellular phenotypes after exposure to drugs and small molecule compounds. Typically, studying drug therapies is an expensive and time-consuming undertaking.

Machine learning’s growing importance in researching cells

Drug Target Review

Another good example is really any process optimization / screening domain, whether it’s cloning screening, media formulation, drug screens, etc. At Beckman Coulter Life Sciences , he supports the applications development team in NGS, cell-based assays, and proteomics workflows.

Archbishop Ussher's guide to efficient selection of development candidates

Molecular Design

I’ll start the review of L2021 with annotation of the abstract: "Physicochemical descriptors commonly used to define ‘drug-likeness’ and ligand efficiency measures are assessed for their ability to differentiate marketed drugs from compounds reported to bind to their efficacious target or targets. [I

On quality criteria for covalent and degrader probes

Molecular Design

I’ll be taking a look at H2023 (Expanding Chemical Probe Space: Quality Criteria for Covalent and Degrader Probes) in this post and this article has also been discussed In The Pipeline. This Perspective is intended to jumpstart this important scientific discussion. Subscripting doesn't work well in blogger and so I'll use K.i

Variability in biological activity measurements reported in the drug discovery literature

Molecular Design

Different assay organism or cell types: the target protein may be recombinantly expressed in different cell types (the target ID in ChEMBL is assigned based on the original source of the target), or the assays may be run using different cell types.

Leadeth me unto Truth and delivereth me from those who have already found it

Molecular Design

Encountering words like “truth” and “beauty” (here's a good example ) in the titles of scientific articles always sets off warning bells for me and I’ll kick off blogging for 2024 with a look at FM2024 (Structure is beauty, but not always truth) that was recently published in Cell.
