It is well known that DNA sequence contains a certain amount of transcription factors (TF) binding sites, and only part of them are identified through biological experiments. However, these experiments are expensive and time-consuming. To overcome th...

Most past works for DNA-binding residue prediction did not consider the relationships between residues. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for DNA-binding residue prediction, referred to as EL_LSTM, which includes two main components. The fir...
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression by binding to partially complementary regions within the 3'UTR of their target genes. Computational methods play an important role in target prediction and assume that the miR...

We assess the ability of our convolutional neural network (CNN)-based scoring functions to perform several common tasks in the domain of drug discovery. These include correctly identifying ligand poses near and far from the true binding mode when giv...
BACKGROUND: RNA regulation is significantly dependent on its binding protein partner, known as the RNA-binding proteins (RBPs). Unfortunately, the binding preferences for most RBPs are still not well characterized. Interdependencies between sequence ...
Engineering of GPCR constructs with improved thermostability is a key for successful structural and biochemical studies of this transmembrane protein family, targeted by 40% of all therapeutic drugs. Here we introduce a comprehensive computational ap...
In this study, we describe the development of new machine learning models to predict inhibition of the enzyme 3-dehydroquinate dehydratase (DHQD). This enzyme is the third step of the shikimate pathway and is responsible for the synthesis of chorisma...
