Advances in microscopy instruments and image processing algorithms have led to an increasing number of cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) maps. However, building accurate models into intermediate-resolution EM maps remains challenging and labor-inten...
The assignment of secondary structure elements in protein conformations is necessary to interpret a protein model that has been established by computational methods. The process essentially involves labeling the amino acid residues with H (Helix), E ...
Antibody engineering is becoming increasingly popular in medicine for the development of diagnostics and immunotherapies. Antibody function relies largely on the recognition and binding of antigenic epitopes via the loops in the complementarity deter...
INTRODUCTION The nuclear pore complex (NPC) is the molecular conduit in the nuclear membrane of eukaryotic cells that regulates import and export of biomolecules between the nucleus and the cytosol, with vertebrate NPCs ~110 to 125 MDa in molecular m...
In the living cells, proteins bind small molecules (or "ligands") through a "conformational selection" mechanism, where a subset of protein structures are capable of binding the small molecules well while most other protein structures are not capable...

Modern molecular docking comprises the prediction of pose and affinity. Prediction of docking poses is required for affinity prediction when three-dimensional coordinates of the ligand have not been provided. However, a large number of feature engine...
Measuring evolutionary rates at the residue level is indispensable for gaining structural and functional insights into proteins. State-of-the-art tools for estimating rates take as input a large set of homologous proteins, a probabilistic model of ev...

SignificanceComputational protein design promises to advance applications in medicine and biotechnology by creating proteins with many new and useful functions. However, new functions require the design of specific and often irregular atom-level geom...
Prediction of side chain conformations of amino acids in proteins (also termed "packing") is an important and challenging part of protein structure prediction with many interesting applications in protein design. A variety of methods for packing have...
