Computer-Aided Techniques in the Engineering of Enzyme Binding Pockets: New Perspectives and Frontiers.

Journal of agricultural and food chemistry
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...

MEGDTA: multi-modal drug-target affinity prediction based on protein three-dimensional structure and ensemble graph neural network.

BMC genomics
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...

PreMode predicts mode-of-action of missense variants by deep graph representation learning of protein sequence and structural context.

Nature communications
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...

Sequence-based virtual screening using transformers.

Nature communications
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...

Utilizing protein structure graph embeddings to predict the pathogenicity of missense variants.

NAR genomics and bioinformatics
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...

Navigating protein landscapes with a machine-learned transferable coarse-grained model.

Nature chemistry
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...

Assisting and accelerating NMR assignment with restrained structure prediction.

Communications biology
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...

AF3Score: A Score-Only Adaptation of AlphaFold3 for Biomolecular Structure Evaluation.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
Scoring biomolecular complexes remains central to structural modeling efforts. Recent studies suggest that AlphaFold (AF) - a revolutionary deep learning model for biomolecular structure prediction - has implicitly learned an approximate biophysical ...

Consensus structure prediction of A. thaliana's MCTP4 structure using prediction tools and coarse grained simulations of transmembrane domain dynamics.

PloS one
Multiple C2 Domains and Transmembrane region Proteins (MCTPs) in plants have been identified as important functional and structural components of plasmodesmata cytoplasmic bridges, which are vital for cell-cell communication. MCTPs are endoplasmic re...

Protein Structure-Function Relationship: A Kernel-PCA Approach for Reaction Coordinate Identification.

Journal of chemical theory and computation
In this study, we propose a Kernel-PCA model designed to capture structure-function relationships in a protein. This model also enables the ranking of reaction coordinates according to their impact on protein properties. By leveraging machine learnin...
