Explore the Potential with AI-Driven Innovation
This extensive focused library is tailor-made using the latest virtual screening and parameter assessment technology, operated by the Receptor.AI drug discovery platform. This technique is more effective than traditional methods, offering compounds with improved activity, selectivity, and safety.
Our selection of compounds is from a large virtual library of over 60 billion molecules. The production and distribution of these compounds are managed by our partner Reaxense.
Contained in the library are leading modulators, each labelled with 38 ADME-Tox and 32 physicochemical and drug-likeness qualities. In addition, each compound is illustrated with its optimal docking poses, affinity scores, and activity scores, giving a complete picture.
We employ our advanced, specialised process to create targeted libraries.

Our methodology leverages molecular simulations to examine a vast array of proteins, capturing their dynamics in both isolated forms and in complexes with other proteins. Through ensemble virtual screening, we thoroughly account for the protein's conformational mobility, identifying critical binding sites within functional regions and distant allosteric locations. This detailed exploration ensures that we comprehensively assess every possible mechanism of action, with the objective of identifying novel therapeutic targets and lead compounds that span a wide spectrum of biological functions.

Background:
Ubiquilin-4, known for its alternative names such as Ataxin-1 interacting ubiquitin-like protein and Connexin43-interacting protein of 75 kDa, plays a pivotal role in protein degradation. It targets misfolded or accumulated proteins for proteasomal degradation by binding polyubiquitin chains. Furthermore, Ubiquilin-4 is a key regulator in DNA repair, specifically inhibiting homologous recombination repair by promoting the degradation of MRE11, thus favoring non-homologous end joining pathways.
Therapeutic significance:
Given its involvement in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the loss of motor neurons and presence of ubiquitin-positive inclusions, Ubiquilin-4 presents a promising target for therapeutic intervention. Understanding the role of Ubiquilin-4 could open doors to potential therapeutic strategies.
