Opioids exert their analgesic effect by binding to the µ opioid receptor (MOR), which initiates a downstream signaling pathway, eventually inhibiting pain transmission in the spinal cord. However, current opioids are addictive, often leading to overd...
The key roles of Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) Class I and II molecules in the immune system are well established. This study aims to develop a novel machine learning framework for predicting antigen peptide presentation by MHC Class I and I...
P38α has been identified as a key target for drug design to treat a wide range of diseases. In this study, multiple independent Gaussian accelerated molecular dynamics (GaMD) simulations, deep learning (DL), and the molecular mechanics generalized Bo...
Protein sequence design in the context of small molecules, nucleotides and metals is critical to enzyme and small-molecule binder and sensor design, but current state-of-the-art deep-learning-based sequence design methods are unable to model nonprote...

Bioactive peptides from food sources offer a safe and biocompatible approach to enzyme inhibition, with potential applications in managing metabolic disorders such as hyperuricemia and gout, conditions linked to excessive xanthine oxidase activity. U...
Binding proteins play a crucial role in biological systems by selectively interacting with specific molecules, such as DNA, RNA, or peptides, to regulate various cellular processes. Their ability to recognize and bind target molecules with high speci...

PI3KC2α is a lipid kinase associated with cancer metastasis and thrombosis. In this study, we present a novel computational workflow integrating structure-based pharmacophore modeling, machine learning (ML), and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to...
BACKGROUND: Transcription factors (TFs) regulate the genes' expression by binding to DNA sequences. Aligned TFBSs of the same TF are seen as cis-regulatory motifs, and substantial computational efforts have been invested to find motifs. In recent yea...
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...
