Machine learning-assisted QnSPR study of structurally diverse nanoporous carbon materials and their capacitive behavior in dilute ionic liquid electrolyte

Maike Käärik

In the development of efficient energy storage solutions, it is important to understand the relationship between electric double-layer (EDL) capacitance and the structural properties of electrode materials. Using machine learning, 67 nanoporous carbon materials, characterized with determined origina...

Classification of Thyroid Peroxidase (TPO) Inhibitors Using Transfer Learning with SMILES Embeddings

Geven Piir

Thyroid hormones (THs) regulate many processes in mammals and, therefore, affect every organ in the body. Thyroid peroxidase (TPO) is an essential enzyme for the successful biosynthesis of THs. Although TPO inhibition is a well-documented molecular initiating event (MIE) in thyroid hormone system di...
