Post-translational modifications (PTMs) fine-tune various signaling pathways not only by the modification of a single residue, but also by the interplay of different modifications on residue pairs within or between proteins, defined as PTM cross-talk...
Great improvement has been brought to protein tertiary structure prediction through deep learning. It is important but very challenging to accurately rank and score decoy structures predicted by different models. CASP14 results show that existing qua...
MOTIVATION: With the breakthrough of AlphaFold2, the protein structure prediction problem has made remarkable progress through deep learning end-to-end techniques, in which correct folds could be built for nearly all single-domain proteins. However, ...
Proteins are essential macromolecules for the maintenance of living systems. Many of them perform their function by interacting with other molecules in regions called binding sites. The identification and characterization of these regions are of fund...
MOTIVATION: Coiled-coil is composed of two or more helices that are wound around each other. It widely exists in proteins and has been discovered to play a variety of critical roles in biology processes. Generally, there are three types of structural...
Accurate variant effect prediction has broad impacts on protein engineering. Recent machine learning approaches toward this end are based on representation learning, by which feature vectors are learned and generated from unlabeled sequences. However...
Domains are instrumental in facilitating protein interactions with DNA, RNA, small molecules, ions and peptides. Identifying ligand-binding domains within sequences is a critical step in protein function annotation, and the ligand-binding properties ...

β-barrel outer membrane proteins (β-OMPs) play critical roles in nutrition acquisition, protein import/export, and other fundamental biological processes. The assembly of β-OMPs in Gram-negative bacteria is mediated by the β-barrel assembly machinery...
MOTIVATION: Protein domains are subunits that can fold and function independently. Correct domain boundary assignment is thus a critical step toward accurate protein structure and function analyses. There is, however, no efficient algorithm available...
