BACKGROUND: With the development of third-generation sequencing (TGS) technologies, people are able to obtain DNA sequences with lengths from 10s to 100s of kb. These long reads allow protein domain annotation without assembly, thus can produce impor...
Multi-domain proteins are not only formed through natural evolution but can also be generated by recombinant DNA technology. Because many fusion proteins can enhance the selectivity of cell targeting, these artificially produced molecules, called mul...
Cysteine (Cys) is the most reactive amino acid participating in a wide range of biological functions. In-silico predictions complement the experiments to meet the need of functional characterization. Multiple Cys function prediction algorithm is scar...

Membrane proteins play essential roles in modern medicine. In recent studies, some membrane proteins involved in ectodomain shedding events have been reported as the potential drug targets and biomarkers of some serious diseases. However, there are f...
Protein phosphorylation is essential for regulating cellular activities by modifying substrates at specific residues, which frequently interact with proteins containing phosphoprotein-binding domains (PPBDs) to propagate the phosphorylation signaling...
Many proteins exist in natures as oligomers with various quaternary structural attributes rather than as single chains. Predicting these attributes is an essential task in computational biology for the advancement of proteomics. However, the existing...
We show that machine learning can pinpoint features distinguishing inactive from active states in proteins, in particular identifying key ligand binding site flexibility transitions in GPCRs that are triggered by biologically active ligands. Our anal...
It is becoming increasingly recognised that disordered proteins may be fuzzy, in that they can exhibit a wide variety of binding modes. In addition to the well-known process of folding upon binding (disorder-to-order transition), many examples are em...
In this paper, using Word2vec, a widely-used natural language processing method, we demonstrate that protein domains may have a learnable implicit semantic "meaning" in the context of their functional contributions to the multi-domain proteins in whi...
