Both protease- and reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated proteolysis are thought to be key effectors of tissue remodeling. We have previously shown that comparison of amino acid composition can predict the differential susceptibilities of proteins t...
In the context of the recently emerging COVID-19 pandemic, we developed a deep learning model that can be used to predict the inhibitory activity of 3CLpro in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) for unknown compounds during the v...
Scoring functions are essential for modern in silico drug discovery. However, the accurate prediction of binding affinity by scoring functions remains a challenging task. The performance of scoring functions is very heterogeneous across different tar...

Previous immunohistochemical analyses revealed altered protein expression in the periprosthetic membranes of patients with periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). Proteins are degraded to peptides that may pass the blood-kidney barrier depending on the...
Proteases are often used as biomarkers of many pathologies as well as of microbial contamination and infection. Therefore, extensive efforts are devoted to the development of protease sensors. Some applications would benefit from wireless monitoring ...

Biophysical interactions between proteins and peptides are key determinants of molecular recognition specificity landscapes. However, an understanding of how molecular structure and residue-level energetics at protein-peptide interfaces shape these l...
UNLABELLED: Extracting information from peptidomics data is a major current challenge, as endogenous peptides can result from the activity of multiple enzymes. Proteolytic enzymes can display overlapping or complementary specificity. The activity spe...
