New molecular descriptors, RED (Renyi entropy descriptors), based on the generalized entropies introduced by Renyi are presented. Topological descriptors based on molecular features have proven to be useful for describing molecular profiles. Renyi entropy is used as a variability measure to contract a feature-pair distribution composing the descriptor vector. The performance of RED descriptors was tested for the analysis of different sets of molecular distances, virtual screening, and… 
The Resolved Mutual Information Function as a Structural Fingerprint of Biomolecular Sequences for Interpretable Machine Learning Classifiers
TLDR
A powerful methodology for sequence classification is achieved which allows substantial knowledge extraction in addition to the high classification ability due to the model-inherent robustness.
Recent trends and future prospects in computational GPCR drug discovery: from virtual screening to polypharmacology.
TLDR
Some of the advantages of multi-target approaches are discussed, and some significant examples of their application in the last decade to that well known class of pharmaceutical targets, the G-protein coupled receptors are reviewed.
Using quantitative systems pharmacology for novel drug discovery
TLDR
This review discusses existing computational and experimental QSP approaches such as polypharmacology techniques combined with systems biology information and considers the use of new tools and ideas in a wider ‘systems-level’ context in order to design new drugs with improved efficacy and fewer unwanted off-target effects.
Exploring the Ligand-Protein Networks in Traditional Chinese Medicine: Current Databases, Methods, and Applications
TLDR
It will be concluded that the prospective application of ligand-protein networks can be used not only to predict protein targets of a small molecule, but also to explore the mode of action of TCM.

TLDR
This review covers several aspects of IT applications, ranging from genome global analysis and comparison, including block-entropy estimation and resolution-free metrics based on iterative maps, to local analysis, comprising the classification of motifs, prediction of transcription factor binding sites and sequence characterization based on linguistic complexity and entropic profiles.
Shannon, Rényi, Tsallis Entropies and Onicescu Information Energy for Low-Lying Singly Excited States of Helium
TLDR
Shannon entropy was calculated and it was found that, generally, a higher excited state had a larger Rényi entropy, larger Tsallis entropy, and smaller Onicescu information energy; however, this trend was not definite and the singlet–triplet reversal occurred for Rényu entropy, Tsalis entropy and OnicesCU information energy at a certain range of order α .
Towards Information Inequalities for Generalized Graph Entropies
TLDR
Two types of entropy based measures, the Shannon entropy and its generalization, the Rényi entropy have been considered and formal relationships are established, by means of inequalities, between these two kinds of measures.

It will be concluded that the prospective application of ligand-protein networks can be used not only to predict protein targets of a small molecule, but also to explore the mode of action of TCM.

The TMACC interpretation can provide new insight into the structure-activity relationships studied, and is illustrated through the analysis of the QSARs of inhibitors of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) and dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR).

TLDR
This comparison is based on their ability to cover representative biological classes from parent databases and the degree of separation between active and inactive compounds for a biological target from hierarchical clustering (cluster separation analysis).
TMACC: Interpretable Correlation Descriptors for Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationships
TLDR
Highly predictive topological maximum cross correlation descriptors for the derivation of quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSARs) are presented, based on the widely used autocorrelation method, and they perform competitively with a current state-of-the-art 2D QSAR methodology, hologram QSar (HQSAR), yielding larger leave-one-out cross-validated coefficient of determination values (LOO q2) for five data sets.
