(1) Background: In this work, we focus on the activity of large-conductance voltage- and Ca2+-activated potassium channels (BK) from the inner mitochondrial membrane (mitoBK). The characteristic electrophysiological features of the mitoBK channels ar...
Protein kinases are receiving wide research interest, from drug perspective, due to their important roles in human body. Available kinase-inhibitor data, including crystallized structures, revealed many details about the mechanism of inhibition and b...
Proteins fold robustly and reproducibly , but many cannot fold in isolation from cellular components. Despite the remarkable progress that has been achieved by the artificial intelligence approaches in predicting the protein native conformations, t...
Predicting the structure of multi-protein complexes is a grand challenge in biochemistry, with major implications for basic science and drug discovery. Computational structure prediction methods generally leverage predefined structural features to di...
This paper presents a computer simulation of a virtual robot that behaves as a peptide chain of the Hemagglutinin-Esterase protein (HEs) from human coronavirus. The robot can learn efficient protein folding policies by itself and then use them to sol...
BACKGROUND: Accurate prediction of protein structure is fundamentally important to understand biological function of proteins. Template-based modeling, including protein threading and homology modeling, is a popular method for protein tertiary struct...
To greatly expand the druggable genome, fast and accurate predictions of cryptic sites for small molecules binding in target proteins are in high demand. In this study, we have developed a fast and simple conformational sampling scheme guided by norm...
Establishing standardized methods for a consistent analysis of spectral data remains a largely underexplored aspect in surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), particularly applied to biological and biomedical research. Here we propose an effectiv...

Side-chain modeling is critical for protein structure prediction since the uniqueness of the protein structure is largely determined by its side-chain packing conformation. In this paper, differing from most approaches that rely on rotamer library sa...
Identification of novel protein binding sites expands druggable genome and opens new opportunities for drug discovery. Generally, presence or absence of a binding site depends on the three-dimensional conformation of a protein, making binding site id...
