CASTELO: clustered atom subtypes aided lead optimization—a combined machine learning and molecular modeling method

Abstract Background Drug discovery is a multi-stage process that comprises two costly major steps: pre-clinical research and clinical trials. Among its stages, lead optimization easily consumes more than half of the pre-clinical budget. We propose a combined machine learning and molecular modeling a...
