The prediction of RNA-small molecule binding sites in RNA structures based on geometric deep learning.

International journal of biological macromolecules
Biological interactions between RNA and small-molecule ligands play a crucial role in determining the specific functions of RNA, such as catalysis and folding, and are essential for guiding drug design in the medical field. Accurately predicting the ...

TRAPT: a multi-stage fused deep learning framework for predicting transcriptional regulators based on large-scale epigenomic data.

Nature communications
It is challenging to identify regulatory transcriptional regulators (TRs), which control gene expression via regulatory elements and epigenomic signals, in context-specific studies on the onset and progression of diseases. The use of large-scale mult...

Recognition of Specific PIP2-subtype Composition Triggers the Allosteric Control Mechanism for Selective Membrane Targeting of Cargo Loading and Release Functions of the Intracellular Sterol Transporter StarD4.

Journal of molecular biology
We present a comprehensive, quantitative model of the allosteric molecular mechanisms of selective cholesterol (CHL) uptake and delivery by the StarD4 protein - an intracellular cholesterol trafficking protein that facilitates the crucial non-vesicul...

In silico design of ankyrin repeat proteins that bind to the insulin-like growth factor type 1 receptor.

Journal of molecular graphics & modelling
Ankyrins are proteins widely distributed in nature that mediate protein‒protein interactions. Owing to their outstanding stability and ability to recognize targets, ankyrins have been used as therapeutic and diagnostic tools in several diseases, incl...

A comprehensive review of computational methods for Protein-DNA binding site prediction.

Analytical biochemistry
Accurately identifying protein-DNA binding sites is essential for understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying biological processes, which in turn facilitates advancements in drug discovery and design. While biochemical experiments provide the m...

Deep-ProBind: binding protein prediction with transformer-based deep learning model.

BMC bioinformatics
Binding proteins play a crucial role in biological systems by selectively interacting with specific molecules, such as DNA, RNA, or peptides, to regulate various cellular processes. Their ability to recognize and bind target molecules with high speci...

PCANN Program for Structure-Based Prediction of Protein-Protein Binding Affinity: Comparison With Other Neural-Network Predictors.

Proteins
In this communication, we introduce a new structure-based affinity predictor for protein-protein complexes. This predictor, dubbed PCANN (Protein Complex Affinity by Neural Network), uses the ESM-2 language model to encode the information about prote...

RNAmigos2: accelerated structure-based RNA virtual screening with deep graph learning.

Nature communications
RNAs are a vast reservoir of untapped drug targets. Structure-based virtual screening (VS) identifies candidate molecules by leveraging binding site information, traditionally using molecular docking simulations. However, docking struggles to scale w...

TopEC: prediction of Enzyme Commission classes by 3D graph neural networks and localized 3D protein descriptor.

Nature communications
Tools available for inferring enzyme function from general sequence, fold, or evolutionary information are generally successful. However, they can lead to misclassification if a deviation in local structural features influences the function. Here, we...

CacPred: a cascaded convolutional neural network for TF-DNA binding prediction.

BMC genomics
BACKGROUND: Transcription factors (TFs) regulate the genes' expression by binding to DNA sequences. Aligned TFBSs of the same TF are seen as cis-regulatory motifs, and substantial computational efforts have been invested to find motifs. In recent yea...
