Multimodal deep learning for allergenic proteins prediction.

BMC biology
BACKGROUND: Accurate prediction of allergens is essential for identifying the sources of allergic reactions and preventing future exposure to harmful triggers; however, the limited performance of current prediction tools hinders their practical appli...

Epi4Ab: a data-driven prediction model of conformational epitopes for specific antibody VH/VL families and CDRs sequences.

mAbs
Antibodies recognize antigens via complementary and structurally dependent mechanisms. Therefore, inclusion of antibody inputs is crucial for accurate epitope prediction. Given the limited availability of antibody-antigen complex structures, any epit...

Multi-Omics Analysis of the virulence factors and designing of next-generation multi-epitopes Vaccines against Rickettsia prowazekii: a computer-aided vaccine designing approach.

Journal of computer-aided molecular design
Rickettsia is a genus of bacteria that are obligate intracellular parasites and are responsible for the febrile diseases known collectively as Rickettsioses. The emergence of antibiotic resistance is an escalating concern and thus developing a vaccin...

Machine learning models for predicting configuration of modified knuckle epitope peptides of BMP-2 protein using mesoscale simulation data.

Physical chemistry chemical physics : PCCP
The high doses of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) cause undesired side effects in skeletal tissue regeneration. An alternative approach is to use the bioactive knuckle epitope domain of BMP-2 (BMP2-KEP) with an open-arm structure as part of the pr...

Design of nanobody targeting SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein using CDR-grafting assisted by molecular simulation and machine learning.

PLoS computational biology
The design of proteins capable effectively binding to specific protein targets is crucial for developing therapies, diagnostics, and vaccine candidates for viral infections. Here, we introduce a complementarity-determining region (CDR) grafting appro...

Deep mutational learning for the selection of therapeutic antibodies resistant to the evolution of Omicron variants of SARS-CoV-2.

Nature biomedical engineering
Most antibodies for treating COVID-19 rely on binding the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2). However, Omicron and its sub-lineages, as well as other heavily mutated variants, have rendered m...

RAG_MCNNIL6: A Retrieval-Augmented Multi-Window Convolutional Network for Accurate Prediction of IL-6 Inducing Epitopes.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a critical cytokine involved in immune regulation, inflammation, and the pathogenesis of various diseases, including autoimmune disorders, cancer, and the cytokine storm associated with severe COVID-19. Identifying IL-6 induci...

NERVE 2.0: boosting the new enhanced reverse vaccinology environment via artificial intelligence and a user-friendly web interface.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: Vaccines development in this millennium started by the milestone work on Neisseria meningitidis B, reporting the invention of Reverse Vaccinology (RV), which allows to identify vaccine candidates (VCs) by screening bacterial pathogens gen...

Learning patterns of HIV-1 resistance to broadly neutralizing antibodies with reduced subtype bias using multi-task learning.

PLoS computational biology
The ability to predict HIV-1 resistance to broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) will increase bnAb therapeutic benefits. Machine learning is a powerful approach for such prediction. One challenge is that some HIV-1 subtypes in currently available ...

Machine learning accelerates the discovery of epitope-based dual-bioactive peptides against skin infections.

International journal of antimicrobial agents
OBJECTIVES: Skin injuries and infections are an inevitable part of daily human life, particularly with chronic wounds, becoming an increasing socioeconomic burden. In treating skin infections and promoting wound healing, bioactive peptides may hold s...
