Prediction of Contact Residues in Anti-HIV Neutralizing Antibody by Deep Learning.

Japanese journal of infectious diseases
The monoclonal antibody 1C10 targets the V3 loop of HIV-1 and neutralizes a broad range of clade B viruses. However, the mode of interaction between 1C10 and the V3 loop remains unclear because crystallization of 1C10 and the V3 peptide was unsuccess...

Computational and artificial neural network based study of functional SNPs of human LEPR protein associated with reproductive function.

Journal of cellular biochemistry
Genetic polymorphisms are mostly associated with inherited diseases, detecting and analyzing the biological significance of functional single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) using wet laboratory experiments is an arduous task hence the computational ...

Detection of the BRAF V600E Mutation in Colorectal Cancer by NIR Spectroscopy in Conjunction with Counter Propagation Artificial Neural Network.

Molecules (Basel, Switzerland)
This paper proposes a sensitive, sample preparation-free, rapid, and low-cost method for the detection of the B-rapidly accelerated fibrosarcoma (BRAF) gene mutation involving a substitution of valine to glutamic acid at codon 600 (V600E) in colorect...

An in-silico method for identifying aggregation rate enhancer and mitigator mutations in proteins.

International journal of biological macromolecules
Newly synthesized polypeptides must pass stringent quality controls in cells to ensure appropriate folding and function. However, mutations, environmental stresses and aging can reduce efficiencies of these controls, leading to accumulation of protei...

Interaction of Vitamin E Intake and Pro12Ala Polymorphism of PPARG with Adiponectin Levels.

Journal of nutrigenetics and nutrigenomics
BACKGROUND/AIM: One of the beneficial effects associated with vitamin E intake is the enhancement of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) activity and the consequent upregulation of adiponectin expression. The aim of this study wa...

Predicting the Effect of Single and Multiple Mutations on Protein Structural Stability.

Molecules (Basel, Switzerland)
Predicting how a point mutation alters a protein's stability can guide pharmaceutical drug design initiatives which aim to counter the effects of serious diseases. Conducting mutagenesis studies in physical proteins can give insights about the effect...

Applying an artificial neural network model for developing a severity score for patients with hereditary amyloid polyneuropathy.

Amyloid : the international journal of experimental and clinical investigation : the official journal of the International Society of Amyloidosis
Hereditary (familial) amyloid polyneuropathy (FAP) is a systemic disease that includes a sensorimotor polyneuropathy related to transthyretin (TTR) mutations. So far, a scale designed to classify the severity of this disease has not yet been validate...

Relationship between immunogenicity and protein structure at amino acid substitution sites of blood group antigens.

Blood
Polypeptide blood group antigens, many of which are created by single exofacial amino acid substitutions, have varying immunogenicities. Why some amino acid substitutions are more immunogenic than others is little understood. Using AlphaFold2, an art...

An efficient deep learning method for amino acid substitution model selection.

Journal of evolutionary biology
Amino acid substitution models play an important role in studying the evolutionary relationships among species from protein sequences. The amino acid substitution model consists of a large number of parameters; therefore, it is estimated from hundred...
