DrugBank is a pharmaceutical knowledge database and a key pharmacoinformatics resource with comprehensive drug/target/disease information. In this notebook, we will download approved drugs information for Alzheimer´s Disease from DrugBank.

Here we use a KNIME workflow to capture relevant information related to an indication of interest involving a complete list of targets, drug names, and their respective study phase, and key protein-protein interactions. This workflow is fed with different databases such as CHEMBL, TTD, DRUGBANK, STRING and OPEN TARGETS, which contributes to the selection and prioritization of targets mapped and the identification of a new set of proteins as drug target candidates.

Here we present a R-Studio pipeline to compute some topological parameters that will help us understand the "importancy" of each protein in a PPI network in terms of its connections. Here we will use the PPI network for the Alzheimer's disease (PPI-AD) obteined in our group using KNIME.

In this tutorial, we will work a Knime introduction working with CHEMBL data using basic nodes.

In this tutorial, we will work with the CHEMBL database and the open-source software KNIME, which will allow us to acquire the data of interest of the compounds that have been tested against a given target.

This workflow use a local CHEMBL database to search one or a list of targets and return information of compounds and activity reported to the input targets.

This workflow consists of 5 interconnected work blocks, each containing a central theme in computer-aided drug design (CADD). The workflow is presented using Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) as an example, including its respective active compounds and their respective associated IC50 values, which where obtained from CHEMBL database.

Here we use a KNIME workflow to post-process the output file CSV from a multiple pharmacophore-based virtual screening calculation done with Phase. We screening a dataset of ~1000 compounds against multiple pharmacophores (~100), then the results were exported as a CSV file with all the results with the corresponding phase screen score (0 to 1).

Here we use present a pipeline to perform ensemble docking to find the most probable binding mode of a given ligand in a given set (ensemble) of protein structures.

To analyze the frequency of receptor-ligand interactions on a set of poses from a given cluster, we use scripts included on Schrödinger Suit (v.2020-1) and in-house functional workflow built on Knime.

To analyze the frequency of receptor-ligand interactions on a set of poses from different clusters, we use scripts included on Schrödinger Suit (v.2020-3) to calculate the interactions on every pose and a in-house functional workflow built on Knime to get the frequency of interactions on each cluster and then sum the total.

HOLE is a program that allows the analysis and visualisation of the pore dimensions of the holes through molecular structures of different proteins such as ion channels. Here we will use HOLE suite of programs to study pores in ion channels. Several HOLE programs have been used in the hole_over_time.tcl script to produce surface representations of pore cavities. You should have the HOLE programs in your computer prior to run this script.

The Root Mean Square Deviation (RMSD) is a common metric used to evaluate the distance between the predicted pose and the native pose, given a superposition of proteins or ligands.
