Abstract
The evolution of orthologous proteins opens a new era of research where the concepts of orthology and paralogy have become more and more substantial, as the whole-genome comparison allows their identification in complete genomes. Functional specificity of proteins is understood to be conserved among orthologs but it shows much more variability among paralogs. We used this laying claim to identify inter-species interactions based on orthologous protein networks which are crucial for understanding the evolution of orthologous proteins. We analyzed six classes of enzymatic protein sequence data using the node degrees of orthologous proteins. The results demonstrated the evolutionary importance of the fatty acid syntheses and the photosynthetic system in algae. Methods which have successfully exploited network structure at many different levels of detail are a cornerstone of systems biology.

AlphaFold in Medicinal Chemistry: Opportunities and Challenges
AlphaFold, a groundbreaking AI tool for protein structure prediction, is revolutionizing drug discovery. Its near-atomic accuracy unlocks new avenues for designing targeted drugs and performing efficient virtual screening. However, AlphaFold's static predictions lack the dynamic nature of proteins, crucial for understanding drug action. This is especially true for multi-domain proteins, ...read more
Artificial intelligence for Natural Products Discovery and Development
Our approach involves using computational methods to predict the potential therapeutic benefits of natural products by considering factors such as drug structure, targets, and interactions. We also employ multitarget analysis to understand the role of drug targets in disease pathways. We advocate for the use of artificial intelligence in predicting ...read more
Chemistry Based on Natural Products for Therapeutic Purposes
The development of new pharmaceuticals for a wide range of medical conditions has long relied on the identification of promising natural products (NPs). There are over sixty percent of cancer, infectious illness, and CNS disease medications that include an NP pharmacophore, according to the Food and Drug Administration. Since NP ...read more
Current Trends in Drug Discovery Based on Artificial Intelligence and Computer-Aided Drug Design
Drug development discovery has faced several challenges over the years. In fact, the evolution of classical approaches to modern methods using computational methods, or Computer-Aided Drug Design (CADD), has shown promising and essential results in any drug discovery campaign. Among these methods, molecular docking is one of the most notable ...read more
