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...
Identification of novel protein binding sites expands druggable genome and opens new opportunities for drug discovery. Generally, presence or absence of a binding site depends on the three-dimensional conformation of a protein, making binding site id...

The metallo-β-lactamase (MβL) superfamily, which is intriguing due to its enzyme promiscuity, is a good model enzyme superfamily for studies of catalytic function evolution. Our previous study traced the evolution of the phosphotriesterase activity o...
Structural disorder is widespread in eukaryotic proteins and is vital for their function in diverse biological processes. It is therefore highly desirable to be able to predict the degree of order and disorder from amino acid sequence. It is, however...
Activity landscape (AL) models are used for visualizing and interpreting structure-activity relationships (SARs) in compound datasets. Therefore, ALs are designed to present chemical similarity and compound potency information in context. Different t...
In combinatorial chemical approaches, optimizing the composition and arrangement of building blocks toward a particular function has been done using a number of methods, including high throughput molecular screening, molecular evolution, and computat...

The secondary and tertiary structure of a protein has a primary role in determining its function. Even though many folding prediction algorithms have been developed in the past decades - mainly based on the assumption that folding instructions are en...
Manually identifying and correcting errors in protein models can be a slow process, but improvements in validation tools and automated model-building software can contribute to reducing this burden. This article presents a new correctness score that ...
