BACKGROUND: Membrane proteins play an important role in the life activities of organisms. Knowing membrane protein types provides clues for understanding the structure and function of proteins. Though various computational methods for predicting memb...
BACKGROUND: Anesthesia is a major component of surgery and recently considered an important regulator of cell phenotypes. Here we aimed to investigate propofol, an anesthesia drug, in suppressing pancreatic cancer (PDAC), focusing on A disintegrin an...
Gastric cancer (GC) ranks fifth in terms of incidence and third in terms of tumor mortality worldwide. The present study was designed to construct a Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier and risk score system for GC. The GSE62254 (training set) and...

Direct coupling analysis (DCA) for protein folding has made very good progress, but it is not effective for proteins that lack many sequence homologs, even coupled with time-consuming conformation sampling with fragments. We show that we can accurate...
Position-Specific Scoring Matrix (PSSM) is an excellent feature extraction method that was proposed early in protein classifying prediction, but within the restriction of feature shape in PSSM, researchers make a lot attempts to process it so that PS...

OBJECTIVE: Fibroblast growth factor (FGF)21 is promptly induced by short fasting in animal models to regulate glucose and fat metabolism. Data on FGF21 in humans are inconsistent and FGF21 has not yet been investigated in old patients with cachexia, ...
Membrane proteins are vital type of proteins that serve as channels, receptors and energy transducers in a cell. They perform various important functions, which are mainly associated with their types. They are also attractive targets of drug discover...
Membrane proteins execute significant roles in cellular processes of living organisms, ranging from cell signaling to cell adhesion. As a major part of a cell, the identification of membrane proteins and their functional types become a challenging jo...
