To understand the mechanism for assembly of Lys-linked polyubiquitin degradation signals, we previously demonstrated that the E6AP/UBE3A ligase harbors two functionally distinct E2∼ubiquitin-binding sites: a high-affinity Site 1 required for E6AP Cys...
Here we present the results of protein contact prediction achieved in CASP12 by our RaptorX-Contact server, which is an early implementation of our deep learning method for contact prediction. On a set of 38 free-modeling target domains with a median...

There currently is renewed interest in blood clotting Factor XII as a potential target for thrombosis inhibition. Historically untargeted, there is little drug information with which to start drug candidate searches. Typical high-throughput screening...
We present a novel elastic network model, lmcENM, to determine protein motion even for localized functional motions that involve substantial changes in the protein's contact topology. Existing elastic network models assume that the contact topology r...
UNLABELLED: Hot spots are interfacial core areas of binding proteins, which have been applied as targets in drug design. Experimental methods are costly in both time and expense to locate hot spot areas. Recently, in-silicon computational methods hav...
BACKGROUND: Transcription factor binding affinities to DNA play a key role for the gene regulation. Learning the specificity of the mechanisms of binding TFs to DNA is important both to experimentalists and theoreticians. With the development of high...
Identification of bioactive milk peptides could improve food technology through improved selection of food supplements with a focus on antihypertensive properties. We hypothesized that angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activities of mi...
Antimicrobial peptides are a class of membrane-active peptides that form a critical component of innate host immunity and possess a diversity of sequence and structure. Machine learning approaches have been profitably employed to efficiently screen s...
Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) models were derived for 179 analogues of artemisinin, a potent antimalarial agent. Molecular descriptors derived solely from molecular structure were used to represent molecular structure. Utilizing...
The readily available high throughput screening (HTS) data from the PubChem database provides an opportunity for mining of small molecules in a variety of biological systems using machine learning techniques. From the thousands of available molecular...
