MOTIVATION: Backbone structures and solvent accessible surface area of proteins are benefited from continuous real value prediction because it removes the arbitrariness of defining boundary between different secondary-structure and solvent-accessibil...

Artificial neural networks (ANNs) form a class of powerful multivariate analysis techniques, yet their routine use in the surface analysis community is limited. Principal component analysis (PCA) is more commonly employed to reduce the dimensionality...
Gamma-aminobutyric acid type-A receptors (GABAARs) belong to multisubunit membrane spanning ligand-gated ion channels (LGICs) which act as the principal mediators of rapid inhibitory synaptic transmission in the human brain. Therefore, the category p...
Several procedures are currently used to assess fermentation index (FI) of cocoa beans (Theobroma cacao L.) for quality control. However, all of them present several drawbacks. The aim of the present work was to develop and validate a simple image ba...

Soybeans are widely used both for human nutrition and animal feed, since they are an important source of protein, and they also provide components such as phytosterols, isoflavones, and amino acids. In this study, were determined the concentrations o...
Extracellular Matrix (ECM) proteins are the vital type of proteins that are secreted by resident cells. ECM proteins perform several significant functions including adhesion, differentiation, cell migration and proliferation. In addition, ECM protein...
As a new type of post-translational modification, lysine phosphoglycerylation plays a key role in regulating glycolytic process and metabolism in cells. Due to the traditional experimental methods are time-consuming and labor-intensive, it is importa...
