Pairwise Performance Comparison of Docking Scoring Functions: Computational Approach Using InterCriteria Analysis

Maria Angelova, Petko Alov, Ivanka Tsakovska, Dessislava Jereva et al. • Molecules (2025)

Scoring functions are key elements in docking protocols as they approximate the binding affinity of a ligand (usually a small bioactive molecule) by calculating its interaction energy with a biomacromolecule (usually a protein). In this stu...

RNA-seq analysis of gene expression profiles in isolated stria vascularis from wild-type and Alport mice reveals key pathways underling Alport strial pathogenesis.

Brianna Dufek, Daniel T Meehan, Duane Delimont, Kevin Wilhelm et al. • PLoS ONE (2020)

Previous work demonstrates that the hearing loss in Alport mice is caused by defects in the stria vascularis. As the animals age, progressive thickening of strial capillary basement membranes (SCBMs) occurs associated with elevated levels o...
