Multi-Target In Silico Prediction of Inhibitors for Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase-Interacting Kinases

The inhibitors of two isoforms of mitogen-activated protein kinase-interacting kinases (i.e., MNK-1 and MNK-2) are implicated in the treatment of a number of diseases including cancer. This work reports, for the first time, a multi-target (or multi-tasking) in silico modeling approach (mt-QSAR) for...
