Human infection with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is mediated by the binding of the spike protein of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) to the human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). The frequent mutatio...
BACKGROUND: Protein-peptide interaction prediction is an important topic for several applications including various biological processes, understanding drug discovery, protein function abnormal cellular behaviors, and treating diseases. Over the year...
The identification of protein binding residues helps to understand their biological processes as protein function is often defined through ligand binding, such as to other proteins, small molecules, ions, or nucleotides. Methods predicting binding re...

We present a novel and interpretable approach for assessing small-molecule binding using context explanation networks. Given the specific structure of a protein/ligand complex, our CENsible scoring function uses a deep convolutional neural network to...
CDK6 plays a key role in the regulation of the cell cycle and is considered a crucial target for cancer therapy. In this work, conformational transitions of CDK6 were identified by using Gaussian accelerated molecular dynamics (GaMD), deep learning (...
Identifying interactions between T-cell receptors (TCRs) and immunogenic peptides holds profound implications across diverse research domains and clinical scenarios. Unsupervised clustering models (UCMs) cannot predict peptide-TCR binding directly, w...
