Deep learning has been increasingly and widely used to solve numerous problems in various fields with state-of-the-art performance. It can also be applied in bioinformatics to reduce the requirement for feature extraction and reach high performance. ...
MOTIVATION: Protein-Protein Interactions (PPI) are essentials for most cellular processes and thus, unveiling how proteins interact is a crucial question that can be better understood by identifying which residues are responsible for the interaction....
MOTIVATION: The correct identification of ligands in crystal structures of protein complexes is the cornerstone of structure-guided drug design. However, cognitive bias can sometimes mislead investigators into modeling fictitious compounds without so...
MOTIVATION: Structure-based drug discovery methods exploit protein structural information to design small molecules binding to given protein pockets. This work proposes a purely data driven, structure-based approach for imaging ligands as spatial fie...

AIM AND OBJECTIVE: The accurate identification of protein-ligand binding sites helps elucidate protein function and facilitate the design of new drugs. Machine-learning-based methods have been widely used for the prediction of protein-ligand binding ...
MOTIVATION: Transcription factors bind regulatory DNA sequences in a combinatorial manner to modulate gene expression. Deep neural networks (DNNs) can learn the cis-regulatory grammars encoded in regulatory DNA sequences associated with transcription...
SUMMARY: Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been shown to perform exceptionally well in a variety of tasks, including biological sequence classification. Available implementations, however, are usually optimized for a particular task and diffi...
MOTIVATION: The convolutional neural network (CNN) has been applied to the classification problem of DNA sequences, with the additional purpose of motif discovery. The training of CNNs with distributed representations of four nucleotides has successf...
