RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) play significant roles in many biological life activities, many algorithms and tools are proposed to predict RBPs for researching biological mechanisms of RNA-protein binding sites. Deep learning algorithms based on tradit...
Riboflavin is an essential water-soluble vitamin that needs to be provided through the diet because of the conversion into flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) and flavin mononucleotide (FMN), important cofactors in hundreds of flavoenzymes. The adsorpt...
The protein secondary structure (SS) prediction plays an important role in the characterization of general protein structure and function. In recent years, a new generation of algorithms for SS prediction based on embeddings from protein language mod...
The structure of a protein plays a pivotal role in determining its function. Often, the protein surface's shape and curvature dictate its nature of interaction with other proteins and biomolecules. However, marked by corrugations and roughness, a pro...
Prediction of side chain conformations of amino acids in proteins (also termed "packing") is an important and challenging part of protein structure prediction with many interesting applications in protein design. A variety of methods for packing have...
In this paper, we report our tFold framework's performance on the inter-residue contact prediction task in the 14th Critical Assessment of protein Structure Prediction (CASP14). Our tFold framework seamlessly combines both homologous sequences and st...
Protein-DNA interactions play an important role in biological progress, such as DNA replication, repair, and modification processes. In order to have a better understanding of its functions, the one of the most important steps is the identification o...
This article reports and analyzes the results of protein contact and distance prediction by our methods in the 14th Critical Assessment of techniques for protein Structure Prediction (CASP14). A new deep learning-based contact/distance predictor was ...
The trRosetta structure prediction method employs deep learning to generate predicted residue-residue distance and orientation distributions from which 3D models are built. We sought to improve the method by incorporating as inputs (in addition to se...
In this article, we report 3D structure prediction results by two of our best server groups ("Zhang-Server" and "QUARK") in CASP14. These two servers were built based on the D-I-TASSER and D-QUARK algorithms, which integrated four newly developed com...
