We present an idea of protein molecules that challenges the traditional view of proteins as simple molecular machines and suggests instead that they exhibit a basic form of "intelligence". The idea stems from suggestions coming from Integrated Inform...

MRGPRX1 plays dual roles in mediating nociception and pruritus, making it a promising target for alleviating itch and inhibiting pain. However, the mechanisms underlying MRGPRX1 activation and allosteric modulation remain poorly understood, posing si...
Targeting ubiquitin E3 ligases is therapeutically attractive; however, the absence of an active-site pocket impedes computational approaches for identifying inhibitors. In a large, unbiased biochemical screen, we discover inhibitors that bind a crypt...

Allosteric compounds offer an alternative mode of inhibition to orthosteric compounds with opportunities for selectivity and noncompetition. Structure-based drug design (SBDD) of allosteric compounds introduces complications compared to their orthost...
Targeted therapy with an allosteric inhibitor (AIs) is an important area of research in patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations. Current treatment of nonsmall cell lung cancer patients with EGFR mutations using orthosteric inh...
The src-homology 2 domain-containing phosphatase 2 (SHP2) is a human cytoplasmic protein tyrosine phosphatase that plays a crucial role in cellular signal transduction. Aberrant activation and mutations of SHP2 are associated with tumor growth and im...
We present MoCHI, a tool to fit interpretable models using deep mutational scanning data. MoCHI infers free energy changes, as well as interaction terms (energetic couplings) for specified biophysical models, including from multimodal phenotypic data...
Allosteric drugs offer a new avenue for modern drug design. However, the identification of cryptic allosteric sites presents a formidable challenge. Following the allostery nature of residue-driven conformation transition, we propose a state-of-the-a...
Allostery is a fundamental mechanism driving biomolecular processes that holds significant therapeutic concern. Our study rigorously investigates how two distinct machine-learning algorithms uniquely classify two already close-to-active DFG-in states...

Allosteric regulation is a fundamental biological mechanism that can control critical cellular processes via allosteric modulator binding to protein distal functional sites. The advantages of allosteric modulators over orthosteric ones have sparked t...
