SHARK: web server for alignment-free homology assessment for intrinsically disordered and unalignable protein regions.

Nucleic acids research
Whereas alignment has been fundamental to sequence-based assessments of protein homology, it is ineffective for intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) due to their lowered sequence conservation and unique sequence properties. Here, we present a web ...

StructMAn 2.0 Web: a web server for structural annotation of protein sequences and mutations.

Nucleic acids research
StructMAn is a method for protein structural annotation. It describes each position of a protein sequence or specific variants in it in terms of their importance for the three-dimensional (3D) structure of the protein and its interactions with other ...

Prediction of Specificity of α-Conotoxins to Subtypes of Human Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors with Semi-supervised Machine Learning.

ACS chemical neuroscience
Conotoxins are a family of highly toxic neurotoxins composed of cysteine-rich peptides produced by marine cone snails. The most lethal cone snail species to humans is with fatality rates of up to ∼65% from a single sting, which is caused mostly by t...

PLPTP: A Motif-based Interpretable Deep Learning Framework Based on Protein Language Models for Peptide Toxicity Prediction.

Journal of molecular biology
Peptide toxicity prediction holds significant importance in drug development and biotechnology, as accurately identifying toxic peptide sequences is crucial for designing safer peptide-based drugs. This study proposes a deep learning-based model for ...

Discovery of unconventional and nonintuitive self-assembling peptide materials using experiment-driven machine learning.

Science advances
Prediction of peptide secondary structure is challenging because of complex molecular interactions, sequence-specific behavior, and environmental factors. Traditional design strategies, based on hydrophobicity and structural propensity, can be biased...

To Fly, or Not to Fly, That Is the Question: A Deep Learning Model for Peptide Detectability Prediction in Mass Spectrometry.

Journal of proteome research
Identifying detectable peptides, known as flyers, is key in mass spectrometry-based proteomics. Peptide detectability is strongly related to peptide sequences and their resulting physicochemical properties. Moreover, the high variability in MS data c...

IFPTML Multi-Output Model for Anti-Retroviral Compounds Including the Drug Structure and Target Protein Sequence Information.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
Retroviruses such as HIV cause significant diseases in humans and other organisms, making the discovery of antiretroviral (ARV) drugs a critical priority. While databases like ChEMBL contain valuable information, their complexity poses challenges. Th...

COLOR: A Compositional Linear Operation-Based Representation of Protein Sequences for Identification of Monomer Contributions to Properties.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
The properties of biological materials like proteins and nucleic acids are largely determined by their primary sequence. Certain segments in the sequence strongly influence specific functions, but identifying these segments, or so-called motifs, is c...

NNKcat: deep neural network to predict catalytic constants (Kcat) by integrating protein sequence and substrate structure with enhanced data imbalance handling.

Briefings in bioinformatics
Catalytic constant (Kcat) is to describe the efficiency of catalyzing reactions. The Kcat value of an enzyme-substrate pair indicates the rate an enzyme converts saturated substrates into product during the catalytic process. However, it is challengi...

IAMPDB: A Knowledgebase of Manually Curated Insects-Derived Antimicrobial Peptides.

Journal of peptide science : an official publication of the European Peptide Society
Insects, a majority of animal species, rely on innate immunity and antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), which are a part of their innate immunity, to combat diverse parasites and pathogens. These peptides have applications ranging from agriculture to antim...
