Protein-protein interfaces play fundamental roles in the molecular mechanisms underlying pathophysiological pathways and are important targets for the design of compounds of therapeutic interest. However, the identification of binding sites on protei...
Transcription factors (TF) recognize specific motifs in the genome that are typically 6-12 bp long to regulate various aspects of the cellular machinery. Presence of binding motifs and favorable genome accessibility are key drivers for a consistent T...
Proteins are essential molecular building blocks of life, responsible for most biological functions as a result of their specific molecular interactions. However, predicting their binding interfaces remains a challenge. In this study, we present a ...
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a severe, growing, multifactorial disorder affecting millions of people worldwide characterized by cognitive decline and neurodegeneration. The accumulation of tau protein into paired helical filaments is one of the major ...
