AlphaFold2 and other deep learning tools represent the state of the art for protein structure prediction; however, they are still limited in their ability to model multiple protein conformations. Since the function of many proteins depends on their a...
Despite the recent breakthrough of AlphaFold (AF) in the field of protein sequence-to-structure prediction, modeling protein interfaces and predicting protein complex structures remains challenging, especially when there is a significant conformation...

Some functional proteins undergo conformational changes to expose hidden binding sites when a binding molecule approaches their surface. Such binding sites are called cryptic sites and are important targets for drug discovery. However, it is still di...
Small cyclic peptides have gained significant traction as a therapeutic modality; however, the development of deep learning methods for accurately designing such peptides has been slow, mostly due to the lack of sufficiently large training sets. Here...
Proteins are biomolecules characterized by uncommon chemical and physicochemical complexities coupled with extreme responsiveness to even minor chemical modifications or environmental variations. Since the shape that proteins assume is fundamental fo...
BACKGROUND: Association and cooperation among structural domains play an important role in protein function and drug design. Despite remarkable advancements in highly accurate single-domain protein structure prediction through the collaborative effor...
The 2024 Nobel Prize in chemistry has been awarded to Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper (Google DeepMind) for the development of artificial intelligence-guided protein structure prediction and to David Baker (University of Washington, Seattle, USA) f...
