The secondary and tertiary structure of a protein has a primary role in determining its function. Even though many folding prediction algorithms have been developed in the past decades - mainly based on the assumption that folding instructions are en...
Structural information about protein-protein interactions, often missing at the interactome scale, is important for mechanistic understanding of cells and rational discovery of therapeutics. Protein docking provides a computational alternative for su...
Protein structure prediction has long been available as an alternative to experimental structure determination, especially via homology modeling based on templates from related sequences. Recently, models based on distance restraints from coevolution...
In this paper, a step-by-step classification algorithm based on double-layer SVM model is constructed to predict the secondary structure of proteins. The most important feature of this algorithm is to improve the prediction accuracy of α+β and α/β cl...
Canonical π-helices are short, relatively unstable secondary structure elements found in proteins. They comprise seven or more residues and are present in 15% of all known protein structures, often in functionally important regions such as ligand- an...
Engineering of GPCR constructs with improved thermostability is a key for successful structural and biochemical studies of this transmembrane protein family, targeted by 40% of all therapeutic drugs. Here we introduce a comprehensive computational ap...
Helix-helix interactions are crucial in the structure assembly, stability and function of helix-rich proteins including many membrane proteins. In spite of remarkable progresses over the past decades, the accuracy of predicting protein structures fro...
BACKGROUND: The broad heterogeneity of antigen-antibody interactions brings tremendous challenges to the design of a widely applicable learning algorithm to identify conformational B-cell epitopes. Besides the intrinsic heterogeneity introduced by di...
Transmembrane proteins (TMPs) are important drug targets because they are essential for signaling, regulation, and transport. Despite important breakthroughs, experimental structure determination remains challenging for TMPs. Various methods have bri...
