BACKGROUND: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a debilitating joint disorder characterized by the progressive degeneration of articular cartilage. Although the role of ion channels in OA pathogenesis is increasingly recognized, diagnostic markers and targeted th...
This study introduces TooT-PLM-ionCT, a comprehensive framework that consolidates three distinct systems, each meticulously tailored for one of the following tasks: distinguishing ion channels (ICs) from membrane proteins (MPs), segregating ion trans...
Accurate classification of membrane proteins like ion channels and transporters is critical for elucidating cellular processes and drug development. We present DeepPLM_mCNN, a novel framework combining Pretrained Language Models (PLMs) and multi-wind...
Missense variants in genes encoding ion channels are associated with a spectrum of severe diseases. Variant effects on biophysical function correlate with clinical features and can be categorized as gain- or loss-of-function. This information enables...
