Deep learning methods for protein sequence design focus on modeling and sampling the many- dimensional distribution of amino acid sequences conditioned on the backbone structure. To produce physically foldable sequences, inter-residue couplings need ...
The protein folding mechanisms are crucial to understanding the fundamental processes of life and solving many biological and medical problems. By studying the folding process, we can reveal how proteins achieve their biological functions through spe...
[Formula: see text] With advances in imaging technologies and the development of artificial intelligence-based predictive software, has the protein folding problem finally been solved?
Allostery in proteins involves, broadly speaking, ligand-induced conformational transitions that modulate function at active sites distal to where the ligand binds. In contrast, the concept of cooperativity (in the sense used in phase transition theo...

Homology modeling was long considered a method of choice in tertiary protein structure prediction. However, it used to provide models of acceptable quality only when templates with appreciable sequence identity with a target could be found. The thres...
