Binding sites in proteins can be either specifically functional binding sites (active sites) that bind specific substrates with high affinity or regulatory binding sites (allosteric sites), that modulate the activity of functional binding sites throu...
We develop a machine learning tool useful for predicting the instantaneous dynamical state of sub-monomer features within long linear polymer chains, as well as extracting the dominant macromolecular motions associated with sub-monomer behaviors of i...

Breast cancer is a leading cancer type and one of the major health issues faced by women around the world. Some of its major risk factors include body mass index, hormone replacement therapy, family history and germline mutations. Of these risk facto...
In this work, random forest (RF), support vector machine, k-nearest neighbor and C4.5 decision tree, were used to establish classification models for predicting whether an unknown molecule is an inhibitor of human topoisomerase I (Top1) protein. All ...
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) play a key role in many cellular signaling mechanisms, and must select among multiple coupling possibilities in a ligand-specific manner in order to carry out a myriad of functions in diverse cellular contexts. Muc...
Large-scale atomistic computer simulations of materials heavily rely on interatomic potentials predicting the energy and Newtonian forces on atoms. Traditional interatomic potentials are based on physical intuition but contain few adjustable paramete...

In recent years, machine learning (ML) methods have become increasingly popular in computational chemistry. After being trained on appropriate ab initio reference data, these methods allow for accurately predicting the properties of chemical systems,...
Flexibility is often a key determinant of protein function. To elucidate the link between their molecular structure and role in an organism, computational techniques such as molecular dynamics can be leveraged to characterize their conformational spa...

It has demonstrated that glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β) is related to Alzheimer's disease (AD). On the basis of the world largest traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) database, a network-pharmacology-based approach was utilized to investigate TCM ...
Soft robots exhibit many exciting properties due to their softness and body compliance. However, to interact with the environment safely and to perform a task effectively, a soft robot faces a series of challenges such as dexterous motion, propriocep...
