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...
OBJECTIVES: To determine the risk of endometrial cancer (EC) and lymph node involvement in patients with a preoperative diagnosis of "AH-only" versus "AH - cannot rule out carcinoma" and to study the value of SLN mapping.
PURPOSE: To investigate rs2107856 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of CNTNAP2 gene in Turkish population with pseudoexfoliation and to correlate clinical characteristics with the genotypic profile.
Mycobacterium is a pathogenic bacterium, which is a causative agent of tuberculosis (TB) and leprosy. These diseases are very crucial and become the cause of death of millions of people every year in the world. So, the characterize structure of membr...
