Focused On-demand Libraries - Receptor.AI Collaboration


Explore the Potential with AI-Driven Innovation

The focused library is created on demand with the latest virtual screening and parameter assessment technology, supported by the Receptor.AI drug discovery platform. This method is more effective than traditional methods and results in higher-quality compounds with better activity, selectivity, and safety.


The compounds are cherry-picked from the vast virtual chemical space of over 60B molecules. The synthesis and delivery of compounds is facilitated by Reaxense.


The library includes a list of the most promising modulators annotated with 38 ADME-Tox and 32 physicochemical and drug-likeness parameters. Also, each compound is presented with its optimal docking poses, affinity scores, and activity scores, providing a comprehensive overview.


We employ our advanced, specialised process to create targeted libraries.

Our methodology leverages molecular simulations to examine a vast array of proteins, capturing their dynamics in both isolated forms and in complexes with other proteins. Through ensemble virtual screening, we thoroughly account for the protein's conformational mobility, identifying critical binding sites within functional regions and distant allosteric locations. This detailed exploration ensures that we comprehensively assess every possible mechanism of action, with the objective of identifying novel therapeutic targets and lead compounds that span a wide spectrum of biological functions.


Several key aspects differentiate our library:


  • Receptor.AI compiles an all-encompassing dataset on the target protein, including historical experiments, literature data, known ligands, and structural insights, maximising the chances of prioritising the most pertinent compounds.

  • The platform employs state-of-the-art molecular simulations to identify potential binding sites, ensuring the focused library is primed for discovering allosteric inhibitors and binders of concealed pockets.

  • Over 50 customisable AI models, thoroughly evaluated in various drug discovery endeavours and research projects, make Receptor.AI both efficient and accurate. This technology is integral to the development of our focused libraries.

  • In addition to generating focused libraries, Receptor.AI offers a full range of services and solutions for every step of preclinical drug discovery, with a pricing model based on success, thereby reducing risk and promoting joint project success.

DCNL4_HUMAN

ALTERNATIVE NAMES:
DCUN1 domain-containing protein 4; Defective in cullin neddylation protein 1-like protein 4

ALTERNATIVE UPACC:
Q92564; B4DH25; Q7Z3F3; Q7Z6B8

BACKGROUND:
The protein DCN1-like protein 4, with alternative names DCUN1 domain-containing protein 4 and Defective in cullin neddylation protein 1-like protein 4, is integral to the neddylation of cullins. This process, involving the transfer of NEDD8 to cullin proteins, activates cullin-RING E3 ubiquitin ligases, crucial for protein degradation and cellular regulation.

THERAPEUTIC SIGNIFICANCE:
Exploring the function of DCN1-like protein 4 offers a promising avenue for drug discovery. Given its central role in the activation of cullin-RING E3 ubiquitin ligases, targeting this protein could lead to innovative treatments for diseases linked to protein degradation and cellular dysregulation.
