Cathepsin S (CatS), a member of cysteine cathepsin proteases, has been well studied due to its significant role in many pathological processes, including arthritis, cancer and cardiovascular diseases. CatS inhibitors have been included in D3R-GC3 for...
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are extensively expressed in cells and tissues, and play crucial roles in human diseases and biological processes. Recent studies have reported that circRNAs could function as RNA binding protein (RBP) sponges, meanwhile RBPs...
Accurate identification of ligand-binding sites and discovering the protein-ligand interaction mechanism are important for understanding proteins' functions and designing new drugs. Meanwhile, accurate computational prediction and mechanism research ...

Accurate determination of target-ligand interactions is crucial in the drug discovery process. In this paper, we propose a graph-convolutional (Graph-CNN) framework for predicting protein-ligand interactions. First, we built an unsupervised graph-aut...
RNA binding proteins (RBPs) determine RNA process from synthesis to decay, which play a key role in RNA transport, translation and degradation. Therefore, exploring RBPs' function from the amino acid sequence using computational methods has become on...
The inapplicability of amino acid covariation methods to small protein families has limited their use for structural annotation of whole genomes. Recently, deep learning has shown promise in allowing accurate residue-residue contact prediction even f...
Protein phosphorylation is one of the essential posttranslation modifications playing a vital role in the regulation of many fundamental cellular processes. We propose a LightGBM-based computational approach that uses evolutionary, geometric, sequenc...
