Protein fold recognition is one of the most essential steps for protein structure prediction, aiming to classify proteins into known protein folds. There are two main computational approaches: one is the template-based method based on the alignment s...
Glycosyltransferases (GTs) play fundamental roles in nearly all cellular processes through the biosynthesis of complex carbohydrates and glycosylation of diverse protein and small molecule substrates. The extensive structural and functional diversifi...
In this paper, we report our tFold framework's performance on the inter-residue contact prediction task in the 14th Critical Assessment of protein Structure Prediction (CASP14). Our tFold framework seamlessly combines both homologous sequences and st...
Protein Structure Prediction (PSP) is considered to be a complicated problem in computational biology. In spite of, the remarkable progress made by the co-evolution-based method in PSP, it is still a challenging and unresolved problem. Recently, alon...
Protein function is fundamentally reliant on inter-molecular interactions that underpin the ability of proteins to form complexes driving biological processes in living cells. Increasingly, such interactions are recognised as being formed between pro...
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) constitute a broad set of proteins with few uniting and many diverging properties. IDPs-and intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) interspersed between folded domains-are generally characterized as having no ...
In this article, we report 3D structure prediction results by two of our best server groups ("Zhang-Server" and "QUARK") in CASP14. These two servers were built based on the D-I-TASSER and D-QUARK algorithms, which integrated four newly developed com...
Protein structures can provide invaluable information, both for reasoning about biological processes and for enabling interventions such as structure-based drug development or targeted mutagenesis. After decades of effort, 17% of the total residues i...
DeepMind presented notably accurate predictions at the recent 14th Critical Assessment of Structure Prediction (CASP14) conference. We explored network architectures that incorporate related ideas and obtained the best performance with a three-track ...
