Proteins are engines involved in almost all functions of life. They have specific spatial structures formed by twisting and folding of one or more polypeptide chains composed of amino acids. Protein sites are protein structure microenvironments that ...
One fundamental problem of protein biochemistry is to predict protein structure from amino acid sequence. The inverse problem, predicting either entire sequences or individual mutations that are consistent with a given protein structure, has received...
The incorporation of unnatural amino acids (Uaas) has provided an avenue for novel chemistries to be explored in biological systems. However, the successful application of Uaas is often hampered by site-specific impacts on protein yield and solubilit...

Antioxidant proteins (AOPs) play important roles in the management and prevention of several human diseases due to their ability to neutralize excess free radicals. However, the identification of AOPs by using wet-lab experimental techniques is often...
Despite recent advancements in deep learning methods for protein structure prediction and representation, little focus has been directed at the simultaneous inclusion and prediction of protein backbone and sidechain structure information. We present ...
Multi-domain proteins are not only formed through natural evolution but can also be generated by recombinant DNA technology. Because many fusion proteins can enhance the selectivity of cell targeting, these artificially produced molecules, called mul...

Both protease- and reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated proteolysis are thought to be key effectors of tissue remodeling. We have previously shown that comparison of amino acid composition can predict the differential susceptibilities of proteins t...
BACKGROUND: Although the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics/Association for Molecular Pathology (ACMG/AMP) guidelines for variant interpretation are used widely in clinical genetics, there is room for improvement of these knowledge-bas...
BACKGROUND: The large tumor antigen (LT-Ag) and major capsid protein VP1 are known to play important roles in determining the host-specific infection properties of polyomaviruses (PyVs).
