Biophysical interactions between proteins and peptides are key determinants of molecular recognition specificity landscapes. However, an understanding of how molecular structure and residue-level energetics at protein-peptide interfaces shape these l...
Salmonella is a leading source of bacterial foodborne illness in humans, causing gastroenteritis outbreaks with bacteraemia occurrences that can lead to clinical complications and death. Eggs, poultry and pig products are considered as the main carri...

We present DrugScore, a new version of the knowledge-based scoring function DrugScore, which builds upon the same formalism used to derive DrugScore but exploits a training data set of nearly 40 000 X-ray complex structures, a highly diverse and the,...
A new split-type photoelectrochemical (PEC) immunosensing platform was designed for sensitive detection of aflatoxin B (AFB) in foodstuffs, coupling with enzymatic hydrolysate-triggered etching reaction of cobalt oxyhydroxide (CoOOH) on cadmium sulfi...

The CRISPR-Cas9 system derived from adaptive immunity in bacteria and archaea has been developed into a powerful tool for genome engineering with wide-ranging applications. Optimizing single-guide RNA (sgRNA) design to improve efficiency of target cl...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Liquorice is the root of Glycyrrhiza glabra, which is a popular food in Europe and China that has previously shown benefits for skeletal fatigue and nutrient metabolism. However, the mechanism and active ingredients remain lar...
Quantitative evaluation of binding affinity changes upon mutations is crucial for protein engineering and drug design. Machine learning-based methods are gaining increasing momentum in this field. Due to the limited number of experimental data, using...
