Focused On-demand Library for Beta-hexosaminidase subunit alpha

Focused On-demand Libraries - Receptor.AI Collaboration


Explore the Potential with AI-Driven Innovation

Our detailed focused library is generated on demand with advanced virtual screening and parameter assessment technology powered by the Receptor.AI drug discovery platform. This method surpasses traditional approaches, delivering compounds of better quality with enhanced activity, selectivity, and safety.


We pick out particular compounds from an extensive virtual database of more than 60 billion molecules. The preparation and shipment of these compounds are 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 for enzymes.

The procedure entails thorough molecular simulations of the catalytic and allosteric binding pockets, accompanied by ensemble virtual screening that factors in their conformational flexibility. When developing modulators, the structural modifications brought about by reaction intermediates are factored in to optimize activity and selectivity.


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.

BACKGROUND:
The enzyme Beta-hexosaminidase subunit alpha is pivotal in lysosomal degradation, specifically targeting GM2 gangliosides in neuronal cells. Its activity against various glycoconjugates underscores its essential role in cellular metabolism and maintenance.

THERAPEUTIC SIGNIFICANCE:
Given its critical function in breaking down GM2 gangliosides, aberrations in this protein's activity lead to GM2-gangliosidosis 1. Understanding the role of Beta-hexosaminidase subunit alpha could open doors to potential therapeutic strategies for this and related lysosomal storage diseases.
