Electromagnetic fields (EMF) can generate reactive oxygen species and induce oxidative modifications. We investigated the effects of extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMF) on oxidative status of plasma and erythrocytes in β-thalasse...
Genome organization is critical for setting up the spatial environment of gene transcription, and substantial progress has been made towards its high-resolution characterization. The underlying molecular mechanism for its establishment is much less u...
Proteins sample a variety of conformations distinct from their crystal structure. These structures, their propensities, and the pathways for moving between them contain an enormous amount of information about protein function that is hidden from a pu...

The current pandemic demands a search for therapeutic agents against the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. Here, we present an efficient computational strategy that combines machine learning (ML)-based models and high-fidelity ensemble docking studies to...
Manually identifying and correcting errors in protein models can be a slow process, but improvements in validation tools and automated model-building software can contribute to reducing this burden. This article presents a new correctness score that ...
The three-dimensional structures populated by a protein molecule determine to a great extent its biological activities. The rich information encoded by protein structure on protein function continues to motivate the development of computational appro...

Despite significant advances in resolution, the potential for cryo-electron microscopy (EM) to be used in determining the structures of protein-drug complexes remains unrealized. Determination of accurate structures and coordination of bound ligands ...
The discovery of targeted drugs heavily relies on three-dimensional (3D) structures of target proteins. When the 3D structure of a protein target is unknown, it is very difficult to design its corresponding targeted drugs. Although the 3D structures ...
As an important category of proteins, alpha-helix transmembrane proteins (TMPs) play an important role in various biological activities. Because the solved αTMP structures are inadequate, predicting the residue contacts among the transmembrane segmen...
