It is challenging to identify regulatory transcriptional regulators (TRs), which control gene expression via regulatory elements and epigenomic signals, in context-specific studies on the onset and progression of diseases. The use of large-scale mult...
Binding proteins play a crucial role in biological systems by selectively interacting with specific molecules, such as DNA, RNA, or peptides, to regulate various cellular processes. Their ability to recognize and bind target molecules with high speci...
RNAs are a vast reservoir of untapped drug targets. Structure-based virtual screening (VS) identifies candidate molecules by leveraging binding site information, traditionally using molecular docking simulations. However, docking struggles to scale w...
Tools available for inferring enzyme function from general sequence, fold, or evolutionary information are generally successful. However, they can lead to misclassification if a deviation in local structural features influences the function. Here, we...
BACKGROUND: Transcription factors (TFs) regulate the genes' expression by binding to DNA sequences. Aligned TFBSs of the same TF are seen as cis-regulatory motifs, and substantial computational efforts have been invested to find motifs. In recent yea...
BACKGROUND: RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) play crucial roles in many biological processes, and computationally identifying RNA-RBP interactions provides insights into the biological mechanism of diseases associated with RBPs.

Affinity plays an essential role in the rate and stability of enzyme-catalyzed reactions, thus directly impacting the catalytic activity. In general, the predictive method for protein-ligand binding affinity mainly relies on high-resolution protein c...
Nowadays, multiple solutions are known for identifying ligand-protein binding sites. Another important task is labeling each point of a binding site with the appropriate atom type, a process known as pseudo-ligand generation. The number of solutions ...
Deep learning models have advanced our ability to predict cell-type-specific chromatin patterns from transcription factor (TF) binding motifs, but their application to perturbed contexts remains limited. We applied transfer learning to predict how co...
