MOTIVATION: Coenzyme A (CoA)-protein binding plays an important role in various cellular functions and metabolic pathways. However, no computational methods can be employed for CoA-binding residues prediction.
MOTIVATION: Template-based modeling, including homology modeling and protein threading, is a popular method for protein 3D structure prediction. However, alignment generation and template selection for protein sequences without close templates remain...
MOTIVATION: Classification by supervised machine learning greatly facilitates the annotation of protein characteristics from their primary sequence. However, the feature generation step in this process requires detailed knowledge of attributes used t...
MOTIVATION: Identifying RNA-binding residues, especially energetically favored hot spots, can provide valuable clues for understanding the mechanisms and functional importance of protein-RNA interactions. Yet, limited availability of experimentally r...
MOTIVATION: Protein fold recognition is an important problem in structural bioinformatics. Almost all traditional fold recognition methods use sequence (homology) comparison to indirectly predict the fold of a target protein based on the fold of a te...

AIM AND OBJECTIVE: A metabolic pathway is an important type of biological pathway, which is composed of a series of chemical reactions. It provides essential molecules and energies for living organisms. To date, several metabolic pathways have been u...
Leishmaniasis is a poverty-related disease endemic in 98 countries worldwide, with morbidity and mortality increasing daily. All currently used first-line and second-line drugs for the treatment of leishmaniasis exhibit several drawbacks including to...
MOTIVATION: The accuracy of predicting protein local and global structural properties such as secondary structure and solvent accessible surface area has been stagnant for many years because of the challenge of accounting for non-local interactions b...
