Molecular docking analysis was performed to assess the affinity of onalespib for their targets LOX, elucidating binding poses, protein interactions, and associated binding energies.

<p>To analyze the binding affinities and interaction modes between the drug candidates and their targets, we employed the Autodock Vina software [21]. Molecular structures of the candidate drugs and targets of hub genes were retrieved from Pubchem (https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/) and Protein Data Bank database (http://www.rcsb.org/), respectively.&nbsp;<span>In the analysis of docking, the files for all proteins and molecules were converted to PDBQT format. Water molecules were removed and polar hydrogen atoms were added. The grid box was positioned at the center to encompass the protein domain, allowing for unrestricted movement of molecules.</span></p>
