CNN-BLPred: a Convolutional neural network based predictor for β-Lactamases (BL) and their classes.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: The β-Lactamase (BL) enzyme family is an important class of enzymes that plays a key role in bacterial resistance to antibiotics. As the newly identified number of BL enzymes is increasing daily, it is imperative to develop a computationa...

A sparse autoencoder-based deep neural network for protein solvent accessibility and contact number prediction.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: Direct prediction of the three-dimensional (3D) structures of proteins from one-dimensional (1D) sequences is a challenging problem. Significant structural characteristics such as solvent accessibility and contact number are essential for...

Enhancing Evolutionary Couplings with Deep Convolutional Neural Networks.

Cell systems
While genes are defined by sequence, in biological systems a protein's function is largely determined by its three-dimensional structure. Evolutionary information embedded within multiple sequence alignments provides a rich source of data for inferri...

Physicochemical characterization and in vitro hypoglycemic activities of polysaccharides from Sargassum pallidum by microwave-assisted aqueous two-phase extraction.

International journal of biological macromolecules
Microwave-assisted aqueous two-phase extraction (MAATPE) was applied for simultaneous extraction and separation of polysaccharides from Sargassum pallidum (SPPs). The optimal extraction parameters, physicochemical properties, and hypoglycemic activit...

In silico toxicity profiling of natural product compound libraries from African flora with anti-malarial and anti-HIV properties.

Computational biology and chemistry
This paper describes an analysis of the diversity and chemical toxicity assessment of three chemical libraries of compounds from African flora (the p-ANAPL, AfroMalariaDb, and Afro-HIV), respectively containing compounds exhibiting activities against...

Protein structure modeling and refinement by global optimization in CASP12.

Proteins
For protein structure modeling in the CASP12 experiment, we have developed a new protocol based on our previous CASP11 approach. The global optimization method of conformational space annealing (CSA) was applied to 3 stages of modeling: multiple sequ...

Assessment of the model refinement category in CASP12.

Proteins
We here report on the assessment of the model refinement predictions submitted to the 12th Experiment on the Critical Assessment of Protein Structure Prediction (CASP12). This is the fifth refinement experiment since CASP8 (2008) and, as with the pre...

Design of a calix[4]arene-functionalized metal-organic framework probe for highly sensitive and selective monitor of hippuric acid for indexing toluene exposure.

Analytica chimica acta
In the present work, a novel metal-organic framework (MOF) fluorescent probe was prepared by post-synthetic modification of MIL-53-NH(Al) with carboxylatocalix[4]arene (CC[4]A). The introduced CC[4]A could not only enhance the fluorescence performanc...

B-factor profile prediction for RNA flexibility using support vector machines.

Journal of computational chemistry
Determining the flexibility of structured biomolecules is important for understanding their biological functions. One quantitative measurement of flexibility is the atomic Debye-Waller factor or temperature B-factor. Most existing studies are limited...

Template-based and free modeling of I-TASSER and QUARK pipelines using predicted contact maps in CASP12.

Proteins
We develop two complementary pipelines, "Zhang-Server" and "QUARK", based on I-TASSER and QUARK pipelines for template-based modeling (TBM) and free modeling (FM), and test them in the CASP12 experiment. The combination of I-TASSER and QUARK successf...
