In this study, we developed an image-recognition-based deep-learning method for accurately predicting the DSSP (define secondary structures of proteins) parameters from a circular dichroism (CD) spectrum. Focusing on the inherently high image-recogni...

Protein misfolding plays a central role in diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, type 2 diabetes, and transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR), often driven by specific aggregation-prone segments such as A and A of amyloid-42 (A42), -Syn...
The emergence of artificial intelligence in protein structure prediction has significantly advanced our understanding of protein folding. Yet, challenges remain in accurately modeling intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) and capturing conformatio...
The aggregation of α-synuclein is crucial to the development of Lewy body diseases, including Parkinson's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies. The aggregation pathway of α-synuclein typically involves a defined sequence of nucleation, elongation, a...
The mis-folding and aggregation of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) such as α-synuclein (αS) underlie the pathogenesis of various neurodegenerative disorders. However, targeting αS with small molecules faces challenges due to the lack of defi...
Machine learning methods hold the promise to reduce the costs and the failure rates of conventional drug discovery pipelines. This issue is especially pressing for neurodegenerative diseases, where the development of disease-modifying drugs has been ...

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder with an unclear etiology. Despite significant research efforts, developing disease-modifying treatments for PD remains a major unmet medical need. Notably, drug repositioning is becomin...
Protein post-translational modifications (PTMs) play a crucial role in countless biological processes, profoundly modulating protein properties on both spatial and temporal scales. Protein PTMs have also emerged as reliable biomarkers for several dis...

Atmospheric particulate matter (PM) exacerbates the risk factor for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases (PD) by promoting the alpha-synuclein (α-syn) pathology in the brain. However, the molecular mechanisms of astrocytes involvement in α-syn pathol...
Parkinson's disease is characterized by a multifactorial nature that is linked to different pathways. Among them, the abnormal deposition and accumulation of α-synuclein fibrils is considered a neuropathological hallmark of Parkinson's disease. Sever...
