In recent years, molecular deep generative models have attracted much attention for its application in drug design. The data-driven molecular deep generative model approximates the high dimensional distribution of the chemical space through learning...
The conductor-like polarizable continuum model (C-PCM), which is a low-cost solvation model, cannot treat characteristic interactions between the solvent and substructure(s) of the solute. Moreover, the error in a charged system is significant. Using...

The availability of new artificial intelligence-based protein-structure-prediction tools has radically changed the way that cryo-EM maps are interpreted, but it has not eliminated the challenges of map interpretation faced by a microscopist. Models w...
The structure of a protein plays a pivotal role in determining its function. Often, the protein surface's shape and curvature dictate its nature of interaction with other proteins and biomolecules. However, marked by corrugations and roughness, a pro...

SignificanceComputational protein design promises to advance applications in medicine and biotechnology by creating proteins with many new and useful functions. However, new functions require the design of specific and often irregular atom-level geom...
We examined the ability of two human cytosolic transaminases, aspartate aminotransferase (GOT1) and alanine aminotransferase (GPT), to transform their preferred substrates whilst discriminating against similar metabolites. This offers an opportunity ...
Metalloproteins are a family of proteins characterized by metal ion binding, whereby the presence of these ions confers key catalytic and ligand-binding properties. Due to their ubiquity among biological systems, researchers have made immense efforts...
