Bacterial proteins dubbed virulence factors (VFs) are a highly diverse group of sequences, whose only obvious commonality is the very property of being, more or less directly, involved in virulence. It is therefore tempting to speculate whether their...
MOTIVATION: Identifying compound-protein interaction (CPI) is a crucial task in drug discovery and chemogenomics studies, and proteins without three-dimensional structure account for a large part of potential biological targets, which requires develo...
MOTIVATION: Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) play important roles in many biological processes. Conventional biological experiments for identifying PPI sites are costly and time-consuming. Thus, many computational approaches have been proposed to ...
MOTIVATION: Protein secondary structure and backbone torsion angle prediction can provide important information for predicting protein 3D structures and protein functions. Our new methods MUFold-SS, MUFold-Angle, MUFold-BetaTurn and MUFold-GammaTurn,...
The major intent of peptide vaccine designs, immunodiagnosis and antibody productions is to accurately identify linear B-cell epitopes. The determination of epitopes through experimental analysis is highly expensive. Therefore, it is desirable to dev...
MOTIVATION: Protein function prediction is one of the major tasks of bioinformatics that can help in wide range of biological problems such as understanding disease mechanisms or finding drug targets. Many methods are available for predicting protein...

BACKGROUND: Evidence have increasingly indicated that for human disease, cell metabolism are deeply associated with proteins. Structural mutations and dysregulations of these proteins contribute to the development of the complex disease. Free radical...
The chloroplast is a type of subcellular organelle of green plants and eukaryotic algae, which plays an important role in the photosynthesis process. Since the function of a protein correlates with its location, knowing its subchloroplast localizatio...
MOTIVATION: Classification of protein sequences is one big task in bioinformatics and has many applications. Different machine learning methods exist and are applied on these problems, such as support vector machines (SVM), random forests (RF) and ne...
