Accurate in silico identification of protein succinylation sites using an iterative semi-supervised learning technique.

Journal of theoretical biology
As a widespread type of protein post-translational modifications (PTMs), succinylation plays an important role in regulating protein conformation, function and physicochemical properties. Compared with the labor-intensive and time-consuming experimen...

Improved feature-based prediction of SNPs in human cytochrome P450 enzymes.

Interdisciplinary sciences, computational life sciences
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) make up the most common form of mutations in human cytochrome P450 enzymes family, and have the potential to bring with different drug responses or specific diseases in individual patients. Here, based on machin...

Identifying DNA-binding proteins by combining support vector machine and PSSM distance transformation.

BMC systems biology
BACKGROUND: DNA-binding proteins play a pivotal role in various intra- and extra-cellular activities ranging from DNA replication to gene expression control. Identification of DNA-binding proteins is one of the major challenges in the field of genome...

Types and effects of protein variations.

Human genetics
Variations in proteins have very large number of diverse effects affecting sequence, structure, stability, interactions, activity, abundance and other properties. Although protein-coding exons cover just over 1 % of the human genome they harbor an di...

Using support vector machines to identify protein phosphorylation sites in viruses.

Journal of molecular graphics & modelling
Phosphorylation of viral proteins plays important roles in enhancing replication and inhibition of normal host-cell functions. Given its importance in biology, a unique opportunity has arisen to identify viral protein phosphorylation sites. However, ...

Prediction of β-lactamase and its class by Chou's pseudo-amino acid composition and support vector machine.

Journal of theoretical biology
β-Lactam class of antibiotics is used as major therapeutic agent against a number of pathogenic microbes. The widespread and indiscriminate use of antibiotics to treat bacterial infection has prompted evolution of several evading mechanisms from the ...

Virtual screening of umami peptides during sufu ripening based on machine learning and molecular docking to umami receptor T1R1/T1R3.

Food chemistry
Umami peptides might significantly contribute to the taste of sufu. However, the inefficiencies of traditional identification methods had great limitations. This study explored a new approach for umami peptides characterization in sufu. Combining pep...

Virtual Hydrolysis-Based Screening of Wheat-Derived DPP-IV Inhibitory Peptides: A Mechanistic Analysis Integrating Cell Experiments and Molecular Dynamics Simulations.

Journal of agricultural and food chemistry
Dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) inhibitors play a critical role in the treatment of diabetes and metabolic diseases. This study combines computational simulations with experimental validation to identify peptides with potential DPP-IV inhibitory act...

PEGASUS: Prediction of MD-derived protein flexibility from sequence.

Protein science : a publication of the Protein Society
Protein flexibility is essential to its biological function. However, experimental methods for its assessment, such as X-ray crystallography and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, are often limited by experimental variability and high cost, lea...

Screening and preliminary analysis of antimicrobial peptide genes in Octopussinensis.

Fish & shellfish immunology
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are small molecular peptides that widely exist in organisms to resist external microbial invasion and play a crucial role in the host's immune defense system. Owing to their functions of efficient broad-spectrum killing ...
