Explore the Potential with AI-Driven Innovation
The focused library is created on demand with the latest virtual screening and parameter assessment technology, supported by the Receptor.AI drug discovery platform. This method is more effective than traditional methods and results in higher-quality compounds with better activity, selectivity, and safety.
We carefully select specific compounds from a vast collection of over 60 billion molecules in virtual chemical space. Our partner Reaxense helps in synthesizing and delivering these compounds.
The library includes a list of the most promising modulators annotated with 38 ADME-Tox and 32 physicochemical and drug-likeness parameters. Also, each compound is presented with its optimal docking poses, affinity scores, and activity scores, providing a comprehensive overview.
Our top-notch dedicated system is used to design specialised libraries.

By deploying molecular simulations, our approach comprehensively covers a broad array of proteins, tracking their flexibility and dynamics individually and within complexes. Ensemble virtual screening is utilised to take into account conformational dynamics, identifying pivotal binding sites located within functional regions and at allosteric locations. This thorough exploration ensures that every conceivable mechanism of action is considered, aiming to identify new therapeutic targets and advance lead compounds throughout a vast spectrum of biological functions.

Background:
Kinesin-like protein KIF21A, also known as Kinesin-like protein KIF2 and Renal carcinoma antigen NY-REN-62, is a microtubule-binding motor protein. It plays a crucial role in neuronal axonal transport, moving along microtubules with a plus-end directed motor activity. This protein's function is vital for the proper functioning of neuronal cells.
Therapeutic significance:
KIF21A is implicated in congenital fibrosis of extraocular muscles type 1, a disorder characterized by restrictive ophthalmoplegia, ptosis, and backward tilt of the head. Understanding the role of Kinesin-like protein KIF21A could open doors to potential therapeutic strategies for this and related ocular motility disorders.
