Biomolecular recognition between ligand and protein plays an essential role in drug discovery and development. However, it is extremely time and resource consuming to determine the protein-ligand binding affinity by experiments. At present, many comp...
Noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) play crucial roles in many biological processes. Experimental methods for identifying ncRNA-protein interactions (NPIs) are always costly and time-consuming. Many computational approaches have been developed as alternative way...
MOTIVATION: Geometry-based properties and characteristics of drug molecules play an important role in drug development for virtual screening in computational chemistry. The 3D characteristics of molecules largely determine the properties of the drug ...
Structure-based virtual screenings (SBVSs) play an important role in drug discovery projects. However, it is still a challenge to accurately predict the binding affinity of an arbitrary molecule binds to a drug target and prioritize top ligands from ...
DNase I hypersensitive site (DHS) refers to the hypersensitive region of chromatin for the DNase I enzyme. It is an important part of the noncoding region and contains a variety of regulatory elements, such as promoter, enhancer, and transcription fa...
The protein-protein interactions (PPIs) between human and viruses mediate viral infection and host immunity processes. Therefore, the study of human-virus PPIs can help us understand the principles of human-virus relationships and can thus guide the ...
Protein-protein interactions play a fundamental role in all cellular processes. Therefore, determining the structure of protein-protein complexes is crucial to understand their molecular mechanisms and develop drugs targeting the protein-protein inte...
DNA-bound proteins are essential elements for the maintenance, regulation, and use of the genome. The time they spend bound to DNA provides useful information on their stability within protein complexes and insight into the understanding of biologica...
BACKGROUND: Cross-linking and immunoprecipitation followed by next-generation sequencing (CLIP-seq) is the state-of-the-art technique used to experimentally determine transcriptome-wide binding sites of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs). However, it relies...
