Focused On-demand Libraries - Receptor.AI Collaboration


Explore the Potential with AI-Driven Innovation

This comprehensive focused library is produced on demand with state-of-the-art virtual screening and parameter assessment technology driven by Receptor.AI drug discovery platform. This approach outperforms traditional methods and provides higher-quality compounds with superior activity, selectivity and safety.


From a virtual chemical space containing more than 60 billion molecules, we precisely choose certain compounds. Reaxense aids in their synthesis and provision.


The library features a range of promising modulators, each detailed with 38 ADME-Tox and 32 physicochemical and drug-likeness parameters. Plus, each compound is presented with its ideal docking poses, affinity scores, and activity scores, ensuring a thorough insight.


We use our state-of-the-art dedicated workflow for designing focused libraries.

Our strategy employs molecular simulations to explore an extensive range of proteins, capturing their dynamics both individually and within complexes with other proteins. Through ensemble virtual screening, we address proteins' conformational mobility, uncovering key binding sites at both functional regions and remote allosteric locations. This comprehensive investigation ensures a thorough assessment of all potential mechanisms of action, with the goal of discovering innovative therapeutic targets and lead molecules across across diverse biological functions.


Our library distinguishes itself through several key aspects:


  • The Receptor.AI platform integrates all available data about the target protein, including past experiments, literature data, known ligands, structural information and more. This consolidated approach maximises the probability of prioritising highly relevant compounds.

  • The platform uses sophisticated molecular simulations to identify possible binding sites so that the compounds in the focused library are suitable for discovering allosteric inhibitors and the binders for cryptic pockets.

  • The platform integrates over 50 highly customisable AI models, which are thoroughly tested and validated on a multitude of commercial drug discovery programs and research projects. It is designed to be efficient, reliable and accurate. All this power is utilised when producing the focused libraries.

  • In addition to producing the focused libraries, Receptor.AI provides services and end-to-end solutions at every stage of preclinical drug discovery. The pricing model is success-based, which reduces your risks and leverages the mutual benefits of the project's success.

UPID:
NDUS4_HUMAN

ALTERNATIVE NAMES:
Complex I-18 kDa; Complex I-AQDQ; NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase 18 kDa subunit

ALTERNATIVE UPACC:
O43181; Q9BS69

BACKGROUND:
The protein known as NADH dehydrogenase [ubiquinone] iron-sulfur protein 4, mitochondrial, or by its alternative names Complex I-18 kDa, Complex I-AQDQ, NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase 18 kDa subunit, is integral to mitochondrial energy metabolism. It is an accessory subunit of Complex I, essential for electron transfer from NADH to the respiratory chain, ultimately affecting ubiquinone.

THERAPEUTIC SIGNIFICANCE:
Mutations in this protein are implicated in mitochondrial complex I deficiency, nuclear type 1, a condition with a broad clinical spectrum, from severe infantile forms to adult-onset neurodegenerative diseases. Targeting the function or stability of this protein offers a promising avenue for developing treatments for these mitochondrial disorders.
