The sequence-based prediction of beta-residue contacts and beta-sheet structures contain key information for protein structure prediction. However, the determination of beta-sheet structures poses numerous challenges due to long-range beta-residue in...
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...
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...

Kinked- sheets are short peptide motifs that appear as distortions in strands and often mediate formation of reversible amyloid fibrils in prion-like proteins. Standard methods for assigning secondary structures cannot distinguish these esoteric mo...
Prediction of peptide secondary structure is challenging because of complex molecular interactions, sequence-specific behavior, and environmental factors. Traditional design strategies, based on hydrophobicity and structural propensity, can be biased...
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...
