The structures and activities of enzymes are influenced by pH of the environment. Understanding and distinguishing the adaptation mechanisms of enzymes to extreme pH values is of great significance for elucidating the molecular mechanisms and promoti...
Transcriptional factors (TFs) in bacteria play a crucial role in gene regulation by binding to specific DNA sequences, thereby assisting in the activation or repression of genes. Despite their central role, deciphering shape recognition of bacterial ...
Engineering enzyme-substrate binding pockets is the most efficient approach for modifying catalytic activity, but is limited if the substrate binding sites are indistinct. Here, we developed a 3D convolutional neural network for predicting protein-li...

Prokaryotic DNA binding proteins (DBPs) play pivotal roles in governing gene regulation, DNA replication, and various cellular functions. Accurate computational models for predicting prokaryotic DBPs hold immense promise in accelerating the discovery...
High-throughput DNA sequencing technologies decode tremendous amounts of microbial protein-coding gene sequences. However, accurately assigning protein functions to novel gene sequences remain a challenge. To this end, we developed FunGeneTyper, an e...

Although natural products are rich sources for drug discovery, only a small percentage of natural products themselves have been approved for clinical use, thus it is necessary to modulate various properties, such as efficacy, toxicity, and metabolic ...
With the increasing volume of high-throughput sequencing data from a variety of omics techniques in the field of plant-pathogen interactions, sorting, retrieving, processing and visualizing biological information have become a great challenge. Within...
Virulence factors (VFs) enable pathogens to infect their hosts. A wealth of individual, disease-focused studies has identified a wide variety of VFs, and the growing mass of bacterial genome sequence data provides an opportunity for computational met...
Independent component analysis (ICA) of bacterial transcriptomes has emerged as a powerful tool for obtaining co-regulated, independently-modulated gene sets (iModulons), inferring their activities across a range of conditions, and enabling their ass...
