Small molecules play a critical role in modulating biological systems. Knowledge of chemical-protein interactions helps address fundamental and practical questions in biology and medicine. However, with the rapid emergence of newly sequenced genes, t...
Antimicrobial resistance is an increasing issue in healthcare as the overuse of antibacterial agents rises during the COVID-19 pandemic. The need for new antibiotics is high, while the arsenal of available agents is decreasing, especially for the tre...
Sesquiterpene synthases (STSs) catalyze the formation of a large class of plant volatiles called sesquiterpenes. While thousands of putative STS sequences from diverse plant species are available, only a small number of them have been functionally ch...
Microbial rhodopsins are photoreceptive membrane proteins, which are used as molecular tools in optogenetics. Here, a machine learning (ML)-based experimental design method is introduced for screening rhodopsins that are likely to be red-shifted from...
The de novo design of antimicrobial therapeutics involves the exploration of a vast chemical repertoire to find compounds with broad-spectrum potency and low toxicity. Here, we report an efficient computational method for the generation of antimicrob...
Deep learning algorithms have been utilized to achieve enhanced performance in pattern-recognition tasks. The ability to learn complex patterns in data has tremendous implications in immunogenomics. T-cell receptor (TCR) sequencing assesses the diver...

Machine learning (ML) can expedite directed evolution by allowing researchers to move expensive experimental screens in silico. Gathering sequence-function data for training ML models, however, can still be costly. In contrast, raw protein sequence d...
Cysteine (Cys) is the most reactive amino acid participating in a wide range of biological functions. In-silico predictions complement the experiments to meet the need of functional characterization. Multiple Cys function prediction algorithm is scar...
The size and shape of peptide ions in the gas phase are an under-explored dimension for mass spectrometry-based proteomics. To investigate the nature and utility of the peptide collisional cross section (CCS) space, we measure more than a million dat...
