The cost of bringing a drug to market depends on how quickly a candidate drug can be “discovered” and evaluated to ensure safety and effectiveness. In this work we develop a method for predicting whether a given drug and protein compound will “bind.” Our aim is to select a set of features to predict drug-protein interactions.
This study focuses on kinases. Kinase inhibitors are the largest class of new cancer therapies. Selective inhibition is difficult due to high sequence similarity, leading to off-target interactions and side-effects. Pictured here human c-SRC.
