Abstract

We present a novel pipeline leveraging AlphaFold protein structure predictions to identify potential drug targets for atherosclerosis and heart failure. Using computational screening of 12,000 protein-ligand interactions, we identified 23 promising lead compounds with significant anti-inflammatory properties.
