Drug-induced cardiotoxicity is a potentially lethal and yet one of the most common side effects with the drugs in clinical use. Most of the drug-induced cardiotoxicity is associated with an off-target pharmacological blockade of K currents carried ou...
Predicting the range of substrates accepted by an enzyme from its amino acid sequence is challenging. Although sequence- and structure-based annotation approaches are often accurate for predicting broad categories of substrate specificity, they gener...

One of the main challenges in drug discovery is predicting protein-ligand binding affinity. Recently, machine learning approaches have made substantial progress on this task. However, current methods of model evaluation are overly optimistic in measu...
Current sequencing methods allow for detailed samples of T cell receptors (TCR) repertoires. To determine from a repertoire whether its host had been exposed to a target, computational tools that predict TCR-epitope binding are required. Currents too...
