GARN: Sampling RNA 3D Structure Space with Game Theory and Knowledge-Based Scoring Strategies.

PloS one
Cellular processes involve large numbers of RNA molecules. The functions of these RNA molecules and their binding to molecular machines are highly dependent on their 3D structures. One of the key challenges in RNA structure prediction and modeling is...

Accurate contact predictions using covariation techniques and machine learning.

Proteins
Here we present the results of residue-residue contact predictions achieved in CASP11 by the CONSIP2 server, which is based around our MetaPSICOV contact prediction method. On a set of 40 target domains with a median family size of around 40 effectiv...

LoopIng: a template-based tool for predicting the structure of protein loops.

Bioinformatics (Oxford, England)
MOTIVATION: Predicting the structure of protein loops is very challenging, mainly because they are not necessarily subject to strong evolutionary pressure. This implies that, unlike the rest of the protein, standard homology modeling techniques are n...

Prediction of Nucleotide Binding Peptides Using Star Graph Topological Indices.

Molecular informatics
The nucleotide binding proteins are involved in many important cellular processes, such as transmission of genetic information or energy transfer and storage. Therefore, the screening of new peptides for this biological function is an important resea...

Binding Activity Prediction of Cyclin-Dependent Inhibitors.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
The Cyclin-Dependent Kinases (CDKs) are the core components coordinating eukaryotic cell division cycle. Generally the crystal structure of CDKs provides information on possible molecular mechanisms of ligand binding. However, reliable and robust est...

SPECTRUS: A Dimensionality Reduction Approach for Identifying Dynamical Domains in Protein Complexes from Limited Structural Datasets.

Structure (London, England : 1993)
Identifying dynamical, quasi-rigid domains in proteins provides a powerful means for characterizing functionally oriented structural changes via a parsimonious set of degrees of freedom. In fact, the relative displacements of few dynamical domains us...

Improving prediction of secondary structure, local backbone angles, and solvent accessible surface area of proteins by iterative deep learning.

Scientific reports
Direct prediction of protein structure from sequence is a challenging problem. An effective approach is to break it up into independent sub-problems. These sub-problems such as prediction of protein secondary structure can then be solved independentl...

Using support vector machines to improve elemental ion identification in macromolecular crystal structures.

Acta crystallographica. Section D, Biological crystallography
In the process of macromolecular model building, crystallographers must examine electron density for isolated atoms and differentiate sites containing structured solvent molecules from those containing elemental ions. This task requires specific know...
