Protein domain boundary prediction is usually an early step to understand protein function and structure. Most of the current computational domain boundary prediction methods suffer from low accuracy and limitation in handling multi-domain types, or ...
BACKGROUND: As molecular chaperones, Heat Shock Proteins (HSPs) not only play key roles in protein folding and maintaining protein stabilities, but are also linked with multiple kinds of diseases. Therefore, HSPs have been regarded as the focus of dr...
The Debye-Waller factor, a measure of X-ray attenuation, can be experimentally observed in protein X-ray crystallography. Previous theoretical models have made strong inroads in the analysis of beta (B)-factors by linearly fitting protein B-factors f...
