DeFine: deep convolutional neural networks accurately quantify intensities of transcription factor-DNA binding and facilitate evaluation of functional non-coding variants.

Nucleic acids research
The complex system of gene expression is regulated by the cell type-specific binding of transcription factors (TFs) to regulatory elements. Identifying variants that disrupt TF binding and lead to human diseases remains a great challenge. To address ...

Computational identification of binding energy hot spots in protein-RNA complexes using an ensemble approach.

Bioinformatics (Oxford, England)
MOTIVATION: Identifying RNA-binding residues, especially energetically favored hot spots, can provide valuable clues for understanding the mechanisms and functional importance of protein-RNA interactions. Yet, limited availability of experimentally r...

Survey of Computational Approaches for Prediction of DNA-Binding Residues on Protein Surfaces.

Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.)
The increasing number of protein structures with uncharacterized function necessitates the development of in silico prediction methods for functional annotations on proteins. In this chapter, different kinds of computational approaches are briefly in...

Prediction of Drug-Plasma Protein Binding Using Artificial Intelligence Based Algorithms.

Combinatorial chemistry & high throughput screening
AIM AND OBJECTIVE: Plasma protein binding (PPB) has vital importance in the characterization of drug distribution in the systemic circulation. Unfavorable PPB can pose a negative effect on clinical development of promising drug candidates. The drug d...

DeepSite: protein-binding site predictor using 3D-convolutional neural networks.

Bioinformatics (Oxford, England)
MOTIVATION: An important step in structure-based drug design consists in the prediction of druggable binding sites. Several algorithms for detecting binding cavities, those likely to bind to a small drug compound, have been developed over the years b...

DNA sequence+shape kernel enables alignment-free modeling of transcription factor binding.

Bioinformatics (Oxford, England)
MOTIVATION: Transcription factors (TFs) bind to specific DNA sequence motifs. Several lines of evidence suggest that TF-DNA binding is mediated in part by properties of the local DNA shape: the width of the minor groove, the relative orientations of ...

A deep boosting based approach for capturing the sequence binding preferences of RNA-binding proteins from high-throughput CLIP-seq data.

Nucleic acids research
Characterizing the binding behaviors of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) is important for understanding their functional roles in gene expression regulation. However, current high-throughput experimental methods for identifying RBP targets, such as CLIP-s...

Supervised Machine Learning Methods Applied to Predict Ligand- Binding Affinity.

Current medicinal chemistry
BACKGROUND: Calculation of ligand-binding affinity is an open problem in computational medicinal chemistry. The ability to computationally predict affinities has a beneficial impact in the early stages of drug development, since it allows a mathemati...

Design of Knowledge Bases for Plant Gene Regulatory Networks.

Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.)
Developing a knowledge base that contains all the information necessary for the researcher studying gene regulation in a particular organism can be accomplished in four stages. This begins with defining the data scope. We describe here the necessary ...
