It is essential for future research to develop a new, reliable prediction method of DNA binding sites because DNA binding sites on DNA-binding proteins provide critical clues about protein function and drug discovery. However, the current prediction ...
Understanding the structural determinants of a protein's biochemical properties, such as activity and stability, is a major challenge in biology and medicine. Comparing computer simulations of protein variants with different biochemical properties is...
Central among the tools and approaches used for ligand discovery and design are Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations, which follow the dynamic changes in molecular structure in response to the environmental condition, interactions with other proteins,...

Self-assembling peptide nanostructures have been shown to be of great importance in nature and have presented many promising applications, for example, in medicine as drug-delivery vehicles, biosensors, and antivirals. Being very promising candidates...
Despite the availability of methods for analyzing protein complexes, systematic analysis of complexes under multiple conditions remains challenging. Approaches based on biochemical fractionation of intact, native complexes and correlation of protein ...
The prediction of amino acid contacts from protein sequence is an important problem, as protein contacts are a vital step towards the prediction of folded protein structures. We propose that a powerful concept from deep learning, called ensembling, c...

Several experimental studies indicated that large conformational changes, including partial domain unfolding, have a role in the functional mechanisms of the basic helix loop helix Per/ARNT/SIM (bHLH-PAS) transcription factors. Recently, single-molec...
The topology of protein folds can be specified by the inter-residue contact-maps and accurate contact-map prediction can help ab initio structure folding. We developed TripletRes to deduce protein contact-maps from discretized distance profiles by en...
