Predicting protein-protein interactions (PPI) represents an important challenge in structural bioinformatics. Current computational methods display different degrees of accuracy when predicting these interactions. Different factors were proposed to h...
Information embedded in ligand-binding residues (LBRs) of proteins is important for understanding protein functions. How to accurately identify the potential ligand-binding residues is still a challenging problem, especially only protein sequence is ...

To date, many proteins generated by large-scale genome sequencing projects are still uncharacterized and subject to intensive investigations by both experimental and computational means. Knowledge of protein subcellular localization (SCL) is of key i...
Tumor-specific neoantigens are mutated self-peptides presented by tumor cell major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules and are necessary to elicit host's anti-cancer cytotoxic T cell responses. It could be specifically recognized by neoantigen...

Membrane proteins play essential roles in modern medicine. In recent studies, some membrane proteins involved in ectodomain shedding events have been reported as the potential drug targets and biomarkers of some serious diseases. However, there are f...
Decrypting the interface residues of the protein complexes provides insight into the functions of the proteins and, hence, the overall cellular machinery. Computational methods have been devised in the past to predict the interface residues using ami...
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has long been used in the clinical treatment of coronary heart disease (CHD). TCM is characterized by syndrome-based medication, which is, using different TCM formulae for different syndromes. However, the underlyin...
Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are important for almost all cellular processes, including metabolic cycles, DNA transcription and replication, and signaling cascades. The experimental methods for identifying PPIs are always time-consuming and ex...
While a plethora of different protein-ligand docking protocols have been developed over the past twenty years, their performances greatly depend on the provided input protein-ligand pair. In this study, we developed a machine-learning model that uses...
Protein phosphorylation is essential for regulating cellular activities by modifying substrates at specific residues, which frequently interact with proteins containing phosphoprotein-binding domains (PPBDs) to propagate the phosphorylation signaling...
