Application of Machine Learning in the Development of Fourth Degree Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship Model for Triclosan Analogs Tested against 3D7.

Despite new therapies against malaria, this disease remains one of the main causes of death affecting humanity. The phenomenon of resistance has caused concern as the drugs no longer have the same efficacy, forcing scientific research to develop new methods that prospect new molecules. With the advancement of artificial intelligence, it becomes possible to apply machine learning (ML) techniques in the discovery and evaluation of new molecules, by employing the quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR), a classic method that uses regressions to create a model that allows identifying and evaluating new drug candidates.

New Features in Visual Dynamics 3.0.

Visual Dynamics (VD) is a web tool that aims to facilitate the use and application of Molecular Dynamics (MD) executed in Gromacs, allowing users without computational familiarity to run short-time simulations for validation, demonstration, and teaching purposes. It is true that quantum methods are the most accurate. However, there is currently no computational feasibility to carry out the experiments that MD performs.
