The mechanism of transcriptional activation/repression of the nuclear receptors (NRs) involves two main conformations of the NR protein, namely, the active (agonistic) and inactive (antagonistic) conformations. Binding of agonists or antagonists to t...
Identification of small-molecule binding sites in proteins is of great significance in analysis of protein function and drug design. Modified sites can be recognized via proteolytic cleavage followed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS)...
Proteins interact with nucleic acids to regulate the life activities of organisms. Therefore, how to accurately and efficiently identify nucleic acid-binding proteins (NABPs) is particularly significant. Some sequence-based computational methods have...

RNA binding protein (RBP) is extensively involved in various cellular regulatory processes through the interaction with RNAs. Capturing the RBP binding preferences is fundamental for revealing the pathogenesis of complex diseases. Many experimental d...
The binding of small organic molecules to protein targets is fundamental to a wide array of cellular functions. It is also routinely exploited to develop new therapeutic strategies against a variety of diseases. On that account, the ability to effect...
In this study, we developed a system that predicts the binding sites of proteins for five mononucleotides (AMP, ADP, ATP, GDP, and GTP). The system comprises two machine learning (ML)-based predictors using a convolutional neural network and a gradie...
