This work introduces LEGOLAS, a fully open source TorchANI-based neural network model designed to predict NMR chemical shifts for protein backbone atoms (N, Cα, Cβ, C', HN, Hα). LEGOLAS has been designed to be fast without loss of accuracy, as our mo...
Microplastics (MPs) and per/polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), as emerging pollutants widely present in aquatic environments, pose a significant threat to human health through the horizontal gene transfer (HGT) of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs)....

Accurate prediction of protein-ligand binding affinities is crucial in drug discovery, particularly during hit-to-lead and lead optimization phases, however, limitations in ligand force fields continue to impact prediction accuracy. In this work, we ...
Previously, a glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 2 β-galactosidase (PbBGal2A) from Paenibacillus barengoltzii is characterized for its high transglycosylation capability. Here, the cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure of PbBGal2A was determined,...

Proteins and protein complexes form adaptable networks that regulate essential biochemical pathways and define cell phenotypes through dynamic mechanisms and interactions. Advances in structural biology and molecular simulations have revealed how pro...
Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) is a key regulator of bile acid, lipid, and glucose homeostasis, making it a promising target for treating metabolic diseases. FXR antagonists have shown therapeutic potential in cholestasis, metabolic disorders, and certai...
Signaling pathway components are well studied, but how they mediate cell-type-specific transcription responses is an unresolved problem. Using the Hippo pathway in mouse trophoblast stem cells as a model, we show that the DNA binding of signaling eff...
