Structure formation of membrane proteins is error-prone and thus requires chaperones that oversee this essential process in cell biology. The ER membrane protein complex (EMC) is well-defined as a transmembrane domain (TMD) insertase. In this study, ...
Missense mutations can disrupt the structure and function of membrane proteins, potentially impairing key biological processes and leading to various human diseases. However, existing computational methods primarily focus on binary pathogenicity clas...
Multiple C2 Domains and Transmembrane region Proteins (MCTPs) in plants have been identified as important functional and structural components of plasmodesmata cytoplasmic bridges, which are vital for cell-cell communication. MCTPs are endoplasmic re...

Increasing structural and biophysical evidence suggests that many drug molecules bind to the protein-membrane interface region in membrane protein structures. An important starting point for drug discovery is the determination of a ligand's binding s...
Despite the STING-type-I interferon pathway playing a key role in effective anti-tumor immunity, the therapeutic benefit of direct STING agonists appears limited. In this study, we use several artificial intelligence techniques and patient-based mult...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that has multiple factors that make its molecular pathogenesis difficult to understand and its diagnosis and treatment during the early stages difficult to determine. Dis...
BACKGROUND: Sepsis, a life-threatening condition driven by dysregulated host responses to infection, is associated with long-term cognitive impairments resembling Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the molecular mechanisms linking sepsis-induced cogn...
Sodium transporters maintain cellular homeostasis by transporting ions, minerals, and nutrients across the membrane, and Na+/K+ ATPases facilitate the cotransport of solutes in neurons, muscle cells, and epithelial cells. Sodium transporters are impo...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Chronic hepatitis B poses a major health risk, especially its progression to decompensated cirrhosis. Early prediction is crucial for better outcomes. This study evaluated the predictive power of Golgi protein 73 (GP73), α1-micro...
Although the efficacy of pharmacy in the treatment of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has been well established, the lack of predictors of treatment response poses great challenges for personalized treatment. The current study employe...
