The pharmacophore concept is commonly employed in virtual screening for hit identification. A pharmacophore is generally defined as the three-dimensional arrangement of the structural and physicochemical features of a compound responsible for its aff...
BACKGROUND: DNA-binding proteins play a pivotal role in various intra- and extra-cellular activities ranging from DNA replication to gene expression control. Identification of DNA-binding proteins is one of the major challenges in the field of genome...
Variations in proteins have very large number of diverse effects affecting sequence, structure, stability, interactions, activity, abundance and other properties. Although protein-coding exons cover just over 1 % of the human genome they harbor an di...

Deep learning methods have played an increasingly pivotal role in advancing side-chain packing and mutation effect prediction (ΔΔG) for protein complexes. Although these two tasks are inherently closely related, they are typically treated separately ...
Invariant molecular representation models provide potential solutions to guarantee accurate prediction of molecular properties under distribution shifts out-of-distribution (OOD) by identifying and leveraging invariant substructures inherent to the m...
Even with the significant advances of AlphaFold-Multimer (AF-Multimer) and AlphaFold3 (AF3) in protein complex structure prediction, their accuracy is still not comparable with monomer structure prediction. Efficient and effective quality assessment ...
Feature attribution methods from explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) provide explanations of machine learning models by quantifying feature importance for predictions of test instances. While features determining individual predictions have fre...
MOTIVATION: Identifying antibody binding sites, is crucial for developing vaccines and therapeutic antibodies, processes that are time-consuming and costly. Accurate prediction of the paratope's binding site can speed up the development by improving ...
