Accurately predicting changes in protein stability due to mutations is important for protein engineering and for understanding the functional consequences of missense mutations in proteins. We have developed DeepDDG, a neural network-based method, fo...
The genes that are required for organismal survival are annotated as 'essential genes'. Identifying all the essential genes of an animal species can reveal critical functions that are needed during the development of the organism. To inform studies o...

HIV resistance emerging against antiretroviral drugs represents a great threat to the continued prolongation of the lifespans of HIV-infected patients. Therefore, methods capable of predicting resistance susceptibility in the development of compounds...
Engineering of GPCR constructs with improved thermostability is a key for successful structural and biochemical studies of this transmembrane protein family, targeted by 40% of all therapeutic drugs. Here we introduce a comprehensive computational ap...
To understand the mechanism for assembly of Lys-linked polyubiquitin degradation signals, we previously demonstrated that the E6AP/UBE3A ligase harbors two functionally distinct E2∼ubiquitin-binding sites: a high-affinity Site 1 required for E6AP Cys...

Predicting the functional impact of single-point mutations on protein residual activity, especially after high-temperature incubation, is critical in protein engineering. We present an innovative machine learning model based on eXtreme Gradient Boost...
Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) play a vital role in cellular functions and are essential for therapeutic development and understanding diseases. However, current predictive tools often struggle to balance efficiency and precision in predicting t...
MOTIVATION: Accurate prediction of change in protein stability due to point mutations is an attractive goal that remains unachieved. Despite the high interest in this area, little consideration has been given to the transformer architecture, which is...
