In this work, we demonstrate how to leverage our recent iterative deep learning-all atom molecular dynamics (MD) technique "Reweighted autoencoded variational Bayes for enhanced sampling (RAVE)" (Ribeiro, Bravo, Wang, Tiwary, J. Chem. Phys. 2018, 149...
BACKGROUND: Atomic details of protein-DNA complexes can provide insightful information for better understanding of the function and binding specificity of DNA binding proteins. In addition to experimental methods for solving protein-DNA complex struc...
LncRNA-protein interactions play important roles in post-transcriptional gene regulation, poly-adenylation, splicing and translation. Identification of lncRNA-protein interactions helps to understand lncRNA-related activities. Existing computational ...
The discovery of peptide substrates for enzymes with exclusive, selective activities is a central goal in chemical biology. In this paper, we develop a hybrid computational and biochemical method to rapidly optimize peptides for specific, orthogonal ...
Quantitative evaluation of binding affinity changes upon mutations is crucial for protein engineering and drug design. Machine learning-based methods are gaining increasing momentum in this field. Due to the limited number of experimental data, using...
BACKGROUND: Identification of potential drug-target interaction pairs is very important for pharmaceutical innovation and drug discovery. Numerous machine learning-based and network-based algorithms have been developed for predicting drug-target inte...
BACKGROUND: Determining protein-protein interactions and their binding affinity are important in understanding cellular biological processes, discovery and design of novel therapeutics, protein engineering, and mutagenesis studies. Due to the time an...
