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 ...
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...
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...

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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
