Current sequencing methods allow for detailed samples of T cell receptors (TCR) repertoires. To determine from a repertoire whether its host had been exposed to a target, computational tools that predict TCR-epitope binding are required. Currents too...
Chemoproteomics is a key technology to characterize the mode of action of drugs, as it directly identifies the protein targets of bioactive compounds and aids in the development of optimized small-molecule compounds. Current approaches cannot identif...
In combinatorial chemical approaches, optimizing the composition and arrangement of building blocks toward a particular function has been done using a number of methods, including high throughput molecular screening, molecular evolution, and computat...

As defined by the World Health Organization, an endocrine disruptor is an exogenous substance or mixture that alters function(s) of the endocrine system and consequently causes adverse health effects in an intact organism, its progeny, or (sub)popula...
Transcription factors (TFs) regulate the gene expression of their target genes by binding to the regulatory sequences of target genes (e.g., promoters and enhancers). To fully understand gene regulatory mechanisms, it is crucial to decipher the relat...
Human Leukocyte Antigen class II (HLA-II) molecules present peptides to T lymphocytes and play an important role in adaptive immune responses. Characterizing the binding specificity of single HLA-II molecules has profound impacts for understanding ce...
The numerous interconnected biochemical pathways that make up the metabolism of a living cell comprise a fuzzy logic system because of its high level of complexity and our inability to fully understand, predict, and model the many activities, how the...
Information embedded in ligand-binding residues (LBRs) of proteins is important for understanding protein functions. How to accurately identify the potential ligand-binding residues is still a challenging problem, especially only protein sequence is ...

The subcellular location of a protein is highly related to its function. Identifying the location of a given protein is an essential step for investigating its related problems. Traditional experimental methods can produce solid determination. Howeve...
Tumor-specific neoantigens are mutated self-peptides presented by tumor cell major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules and are necessary to elicit host's anti-cancer cytotoxic T cell responses. It could be specifically recognized by neoantigen...
