'Intelligent' proteins.

Cellular and molecular life sciences : CMLS
We present an idea of protein molecules that challenges the traditional view of proteins as simple molecular machines and suggests instead that they exhibit a basic form of "intelligence". The idea stems from suggestions coming from Integrated Inform...

Molecular insights into the unique activation and allosteric modulation mechanisms of the human mas-related G-protein-coupled receptor X1.

International journal of biological macromolecules
MRGPRX1 plays dual roles in mediating nociception and pruritus, making it a promising target for alleviating itch and inhibiting pain. However, the mechanisms underlying MRGPRX1 activation and allosteric modulation remain poorly understood, posing si...

Modeling Active-State Conformations of G-Protein-Coupled Receptors Using AlphaFold2 via Template Bias and Explicit Protein Constrains.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
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...

Reliable protein-protein docking with AlphaFold, Rosetta, and replica exchange.

eLife
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...

EMOCPD: Efficient Attention-Based Models for Computational Protein Design Using Amino Acid Microenvironment.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
Computational protein design (CPD) refers to the use of computational methods to design proteins. Traditional methods relying on energy functions and heuristic algorithms for sequence design are inefficient and do not meet the demands of the big data...

CrypToth: Cryptic Pocket Detection through Mixed-Solvent Molecular Dynamics Simulations-Based Topological Data Analysis.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
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...

Cyclic peptide structure prediction and design using AlphaFold2.

Nature communications
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...

Structural Biology in the AlphaFold Era: How Far Is Artificial Intelligence from Deciphering the Protein Folding Code?

Biomolecules
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...

M-DeepAssembly: enhanced DeepAssembly based on multi-objective multi-domain protein conformation sampling.

BMC bioinformatics
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...

[Nobel Prize in chemistry 2024: David Baker, Demis Hassabis et John M. Jumper. The revolution of artificial intelligence in structural biology].

Medecine sciences : M/S
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...
