It is significant for biological cells to predict self-interacting proteins (SIPs) in the field of bioinformatics. SIPs mean that two or more identical proteins can interact with each other by one gene expression. This plays a major role in the evolu...
The prediction of peptide-protein or protein-protein interactions (PPI) is a challenging task, especially if amino acid sequences are the only information available. Machine learning methods allow us to exploit the information content in PPI datasets...
In this study, the binding of allergens to antibody-receptor complexes was investigated. This process is important in understanding the allergic response. A BioNetGen model that simulates this process, combined with a novel method for encoding steric...

We introduce here ML4Tox, a framework offering Deep Learning and Support Vector Machine models to predict agonist, antagonist, and binding activities of chemical compounds, in this case for the estrogen receptor ligand-binding domain. The ML4Tox mode...
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have suggested deep learning to be a highly effective approach for screening lead compounds for new drugs. Several deep learning models have been developed by addressing the use of various kinds of fingerprints and graph ...
BACKGROUND: Identifying specific residues for protein-DNA interactions are of considerable importance to better recognize the binding mechanism of protein-DNA complexes. Despite the fact that many computational DNA-binding residue prediction approach...
