Enzymes, recognized for their remarkable catalytic efficiency, play a crucial role in a myriad of biochemical reactions. However, the catalytic performance of natural enzymes frequently does not meet the demands of specific applications. To address t...
BACKGROUND: Drug development is a time-consuming and costly endeavor, and utilizing computer-aided methods to predict drug-target affinity (DTA) can significantly accelerate this process. The key to accurate DTA prediction lies in selecting appropria...
Accurate prediction of the functional impact of missense variants is important for disease gene discovery, clinical genetic diagnostics, therapeutic strategies, and protein engineering. Previous efforts have focused on predicting a binary pathogenici...
Protein-ligand interactions play central roles in myriad biological processes and are of key importance in drug design. Deep learning approaches are becoming cost-effective alternatives to high-throughput experimental methods for ligand identificatio...
Genetic variants can impact the structure of the corresponding protein, which can have detrimental effects on protein function. While the effect of protein-truncating variants is often easier to evaluate, most genetic variants that affect the protein...
The most popular and universally predictive protein simulation models employ all-atom molecular dynamics, but they come at extreme computational cost. The development of a universal, computationally efficient coarse-grained (CG) model with similar pr...
Accurate dynamic protein structures are essential for drug design. NMR experiments can detect protein structures and potential dynamics, but the spectrum assignment and structure determination requires expertise and is time-consuming, while deep-lear...
