Acetylcholinesterase (AChE), a serine hydrolase vital for regulating the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in animals, has been used as a target for drugs and pesticides. With the increasing availability of AChE crystal structures, with or without ligan...
BACKGROUND: Molecular docking is a widely-employed method in structure-based drug design. An essential component of molecular docking programs is a scoring function (SF) that can be used to identify the most stable binding pose of a ligand, when boun...
As a widespread type of protein post-translational modifications (PTMs), succinylation plays an important role in regulating protein conformation, function and physicochemical properties. Compared with the labor-intensive and time-consuming experimen...
BACKGROUND: Accurately predicting the binding affinities of large sets of protein-ligand complexes is a key challenge in computational biomolecular science, with applications in drug discovery, chemical biology, and structural biology. Since a scorin...

Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are key regulators of cellular signaling and are frequently involved in cancer development. As their activation depends on ATP binding to the kinase domain, precisely identifying ATP binding sites is critical for mech...
Knowledge of protein-ligand binding sites (LBSs) is crucial for advancing our understanding of biology and developing practical applications in fields such as medicine or biotechnology. PrankWeb is a web server that allows users to predict LBSs from ...
Predicting functional binding sites in proteins is crucial for understanding protein-protein interactions (PPIs) and identifying drug targets. While various computational approaches exist, many fail to assess PPI ligandability, which often involves c...
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are linear, negatively charged carbohydrates that modulate enzymatic activity in the extracellular matrix. Their high flexibility and specificity in protein-GAG interactions pose challenges for both experimental and computat...
