Accurate prediction of the binding affinity of a protein-ligand complex is essential for efficient and successful rational drug design. Therefore, many binding affinity prediction methods have been developed. In recent years, since deep learning tech...
The current COVID-19 pandemic caused by a novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 urgently calls for a working therapeutic. Here, we report a computation-based workflow for efficiently selecting a subset of FDA-approved drugs that can potentially bind to the SA...
Identification of novel protein binding sites expands druggable genome and opens new opportunities for drug discovery. Generally, presence or absence of a binding site depends on the three-dimensional conformation of a protein, making binding site id...

Docking is one of the most important steps in virtual screening pipelines, and it is an established method for examining potential interactions between ligands and receptors. However, this method is computationally expensive, and it is often among th...
DNA-binding protein (DBP) and RNA-binding protein (RBP) are playing crucial roles in gene expression. Accurate identification of them is of great significance, and accurately computational predictors are highly required. In previous studies, DBP reco...
Epidemiological studies show that SARS-CoV-2 infection leads to severe symptoms only in a fraction of patients, but the determinants of individual susceptibility to the virus are still unknown. The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I expos...
