Extracting a well-designed energy function is important for protein structure evaluation. Knowledge-based potential functions are one type of the energy functions which can be obtained from known protein structures. The pairwise potential between ato...
We have employed our bioinformatics workbench, named Evolution, a Multi-Agent System based architecture with lattice-bead-models, evolutionary-algorithms, and correlated-networks as inhomogeneous spaces, with different correlation lengths, mimicking ...
Saponins are a type of compounds bearing a hydrophobic steroid/triterpenoid moiety and hydrophilic carbohydrate branches. The majority of the saponins demonstrate a broad range of prominent pharmacological activities. Nevertheless, many saponins also...

In this work, we propose a machine learning approach to generate novel molecules starting from a seed compound, its three-dimensional (3D) shape, and its pharmacophoric features. The pipeline draws inspiration from generative models used in image ana...
Amphiphilic block copolymers poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(methacrylic acid-co-2-nitroimidazole methacrylate) (PEG-b-P(MAA-co-NIMA)) were synthesized by the combination of atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), hydrolysis and EDC reactions. ...

Rhamnolipid (RL) biosurfactants have been studied as agents to control the growth of food pathogens however, to be successful applied as antimicrobial agent in food, is important to determine the effect of environmental conditions on RL activity. Onc...
Residue solvent accessibility is closely related to the spatial arrangement and packing of residues. Predicting the solvent accessibility of a protein is an important step to understand its structure and function. In this work, we present a deep lear...
Collective cell migration, in which cells migrate as a group, is fundamental in many biological and pathological processes. There is increasing interest in studying the collective cell migration in high throughput. Cell scratching, insertion blocker,...
