BACKGROUND: In recent years, numerous computational methods predicted protein function based on the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network. These methods supposed that two proteins share the same function if they interact with each other. However,...
BACKGROUND: Although disease diagnosis has greatly benefited from next generation sequencing technologies, it is still difficult to make the right diagnosis purely based on sequencing technologies for many diseases with complex phenotypes and high ge...
Mycobacterium is a pathogenic bacterium, which is a causative agent of tuberculosis (TB) and leprosy. These diseases are very crucial and become the cause of death of millions of people every year in the world. So, the characterize structure of membr...
To understand the mechanism for assembly of Lys-linked polyubiquitin degradation signals, we previously demonstrated that the E6AP/UBE3A ligase harbors two functionally distinct E2∼ubiquitin-binding sites: a high-affinity Site 1 required for E6AP Cys...
Here we present the results of protein contact prediction achieved in CASP12 by our RaptorX-Contact server, which is an early implementation of our deep learning method for contact prediction. On a set of 38 free-modeling target domains with a median...
Protein pupylation is a type of post-translation modification, which plays a crucial role in cellular function of bacterial organisms in prokaryotes. To have a better insight of the mechanisms underlying pupylation an initial, but important, step is ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: We introduce the R-package GenomicTools to perform, among others, a Multifactor Dimensionality Reduction (MDR) for the identification of SNP-SNP interactions. The package further provides a new class of tests for an (explor...
Helix-helix interactions are crucial in the structure assembly, stability and function of helix-rich proteins including many membrane proteins. In spite of remarkable progresses over the past decades, the accuracy of predicting protein structures fro...
