Democratizing Bioinformatics for a Smarter, Healthier Future!

🔬 Researchers at @IRBBarcelona introduce #PocketVec, a game-changing method to characterize druggable protein pockets. Using inverse virtual screening, PocketVec overcomes key limitations in drug discovery strategies! 💡 Using PocketVec, the team conducted a comprehensive human proteome analysis, identifying over 32,000 binding sites across 20,000 protein domains. This massive undertaking utilized both experimental structures and AlphaFold2 models. 🎯 The study's extensive similarity search, involving 1.2 billion pairwise comparisons, revealed previously undetected druggable pocket similarities. This breakthrough could revolutionize chemical probe development and expand our understanding of the druggable space.
