Recent developments in protein design rely on large neural networks with up to 100s of millions of parameters, yet it is unclear which residue dependencies are critical for determining protein function. Here, we show that amino acid preferences at in...
Although the contributions of individual components of cell culture media are largely known, their combinatorial effects are far less understood. Experiments varying one component at a time cannot identify combinatorial effects, and analysis of the l...

Proteins play a central role in biology from immune recognition to brain activity. While major advances in machine learning have improved our ability to predict protein structure from sequence, determining protein function from its sequence or struct...
DNA-binding and RNA-binding proteins are essential to an organism's normal life cycle. These proteins have diverse functions in various biological processes. DNA-binding proteins are crucial for DNA replication, transcription, repair, packaging, and ...

A complete catalase-encoding gene, designated soiCat1, was obtained from soil samples via metagenomic sequencing, assembly, and gene prediction. soiCat1 showed 73% identity to a catalase-encoding gene of Mucilaginibacter rubeus strain P1, and the ami...
Lipolysis is an essential metabolic process that releases unesterified fatty acids from neutral lipid stores to maintain energy homeostasis in living organisms. Adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) plays a key role in intracellular lipolysis and can be...

Using wet experimental methods to discover new thermophilic proteins or improve protein thermostability is time-consuming and expensive. Machine learning methods have shown powerful performance in the study of protein thermostability in recent years....
Recent advances in deep learning have significantly improved the ability to infer protein sequences directly from protein structures for the fix-backbone design. The methods have evolved from the early use of multi-layer perceptrons to convolutional ...
