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...
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 ...
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 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 ...
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...
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 ...
