Signal peptides play an important role in guiding and transferring transmembrane proteins and secreted proteins. In recent years, with the explosive growth of protein sequences, computationally predicting signal peptides and their cleavage sites from...
Tumor-specific neoantigens are mutated self-peptides presented by tumor cell major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules and are necessary to elicit host's anti-cancer cytotoxic T cell responses. It could be specifically recognized by neoantigen...
Decrypting the interface residues of the protein complexes provides insight into the functions of the proteins and, hence, the overall cellular machinery. Computational methods have been devised in the past to predict the interface residues using ami...
Directed evolution and rational design are powerful strategies in protein engineering to tailor enzyme properties to meet the demands in academia and industry. Traditional approaches for enzyme engineering and directed evolution are often experimenta...

A novel coronavirus, called 2019-nCoV, was recently found in Wuhan, Hubei Province of China, and now is spreading across China and other parts of the world. Although there are some drugs to treat 2019-nCoV, there is no proper scientific evidence abou...
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play critical roles in many pathological and biological processes, such as post-transcription, cell differentiation and gene regulation. Increasingly more studies have shown that lncRNAs function through mainly interacti...
Protein secondary structure prediction remains a vital topic with broad applications. Due to lack of a widely accepted standard in secondary structure predictor evaluation, a fair comparison of predictors is challenging. A detailed examination of fac...

Protein redesign and engineering has become an important task in pharmaceutical research and development. Recent advances in technology have enabled efficient protein redesign by mimicking natural evolutionary mutation, selection, and amplification s...
Species living in extremely cold environments resist the freezing conditions through antifreeze proteins (AFPs). Apart from being essential proteins for various organisms living in sub-zero temperatures, AFPs have numerous applications in different i...
BACKGROUND: Membrane transport proteins (transporters) play an essential role in every living cell by transporting hydrophilic molecules across the hydrophobic membranes. While the sequences of many membrane proteins are known, their structure and fu...
