BACKGROUND: Evidence have increasingly indicated that for human disease, cell metabolism are deeply associated with proteins. Structural mutations and dysregulations of these proteins contribute to the development of the complex disease. Free radical...
Human genome contains ca. 20,000 protein-coding genes that could be translated into millions of unique protein species (proteoforms). Proteoforms coded by a single gene often have different functions, which implies different protein partners. By inte...
Peptides act as promising anticancer agents due to their ease of synthesis and modifications, enhanced tumor penetration, and less systemic toxicity. However, only limited success has been achieved so far, as experimental design and synthesis of anti...
Self-Interacting Proteins (SIPs), whose two or more copies can interact with each other, have significant roles in cellular functions and evolution of Protein Interaction Networks (PINs). Knowing whether a protein can act on itself is important to un...
In recent years, more and more evidence indicates that long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) plays a significant role in the development of complex biological processes, especially in RNA progressing, chromatin modification, and cell differentiation, as well ...
Protein-related interaction prediction is critical to understanding life processes, biological functions, and mechanisms of drug action. Experimental methods used to determine proteinrelated interactions have always been costly and inefficient. In re...

BACKGROUND: Tuberculosis is one of the biggest threats to human health. Recent studies have demonstrated that anti-tubercular peptides are promising candidates for the discovery of new anti-tubercular drugs. Since experimental methods are still labor...

Computational design of new active sites has generally proceeded by geometrically defining interactions between the reaction transition state(s) and surrounding side-chain functional groups which maximize transition-state stabilization, and then sear...
We describe AlphaFold, the protein structure prediction system that was entered by the group A7D in CASP13. Submissions were made by three free-modeling (FM) methods which combine the predictions of three neural networks. All three systems were guide...
MOTIVATION: Contact-map of a protein sequence dictates the global topology of structural fold. Accurate prediction of the contact-map is thus essential to protein 3D structure prediction, which is particularly useful for the protein sequences that do...
