Human chromosomal telomeres are capable of forming G-Quadruplex structures, which can inhibit the activity of telomerase, an enzyme commonly found in cancerous cells and largely responsible for their immortality. The inhibition may therefore lead to cell apoptosis in these cancer cells. As such, there have been growing interest in the research for G-Quadruplex stabilizers. This thesis focusses on the exploration and development of new representations for the structure-function relationship of G-Quadruplex-ligand biomolecular system using machine learning (ML) techniques. Two main models, namely
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
