Knowing the transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs) is essential for modeling the underlying binding mechanisms and follow-up cellular functions. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have outperformed methods in predicting TFBSs from the primary D...
Proteins often exert their function by binding to other cellular partners. The hot spots are key residues for protein-protein binding. Their identification may shed light on the impact of disease associated mutations on protein complexes and help des...
BACKGROUND: Due to the complexity of the biological systems, the prediction of the potential DNA binding sites for transcription factors remains a difficult problem in computational biology. Genomic DNA sequences and experimental results from paralle...

Computational prediction of Protein-Ligand Interaction (PLI) is an important step in the modern drug discovery pipeline as it mitigates the cost, time, and resources required to screen novel therapeutics. Deep Neural Networks (DNN) have recently show...
Many sequence variants have been linked to complex human traits and diseases, but deciphering their biological functions remains challenging, as most of them reside in noncoding DNA. Here we have systematically assessed the binding of 270 human trans...
Structural insight of the protein-protein interaction (PPI) interface can provide knowledge about the kinetics, thermodynamics and molecular functions of the complex while elucidating its role in diseases and further enabling it as a potential therap...

Protein-DNA interactions exist ubiquitously and play important roles in the life cycles of living cells. The accurate identification of DNA-binding proteins (DBPs) is one of the key steps to understand the mechanisms of protein-DNA interactions. Alth...
BACKGROUND: Transcription factor (TF) binding specificity is determined via a complex interplay between the transcription factor's DNA binding preference and cell type-specific chromatin environments. The chromatin features that correlate with transc...
The present study aimed to assess the repurposing potential of existing antiviral drug candidates (FDA-approved and investigational) against SARS-CoV-2 target proteins that facilitates viral entry and replication into the host body. To evaluate molec...
BACKGROUND: RNA binding proteins (RBPs) play a vital role in post-transcriptional processes in all eukaryotes, such as splicing regulation, mRNA transport, and modulation of mRNA translation and decay. The identification of RBP binding sites is a cru...
