Proteins are essential to life, and understanding their structure can facilitate a mechanistic understanding of their function. Through an enormous experimental effort, the structures of around 100,000 unique proteins have been determined, but this r...
Artificial intelligence (AI) renders cutting-edge applications in diverse sectors of society. Due to substantial progress in high-performance computing, the development of superior algorithms, and the accumulation of huge biological and chemical data...
I outline how over my career as a protein scientist Machine Learning has impacted my area of science and one of my pastimes, chess, where there are some interesting parallels. In 1968, modelling of three-dimensional structures was initiated based on ...
The prediction of amino acid contacts from protein sequence is an important problem, as protein contacts are a vital step towards the prediction of folded protein structures. We propose that a powerful concept from deep learning, called ensembling, c...
The topology of protein folds can be specified by the inter-residue contact-maps and accurate contact-map prediction can help ab initio structure folding. We developed TripletRes to deduce protein contact-maps from discretized distance profiles by en...
The energetics of protein-carbohydrate interactions, central to many life processes, cannot yet be manipulated predictably. This is mostly due to an incomplete quantitative understanding of the enthalpic and entropic basis of these interactions in aq...

Protein structure prediction and design can be regarded as two inverse processes governed by the same folding principle. Although progress remained stagnant over the past two decades, the recent application of deep neural networks to spatial constrai...
Understanding the function of protein is conducive to research in advanced fields such as gene therapy of diseases, the development and design of new drugs, etc. The prerequisite for understanding the function of a protein is to determine its tertiar...
The ELASPIC web server allows users to evaluate the effect of mutations on protein folding and protein-protein interaction on a proteome-wide scale. It uses homology models of proteins and protein-protein interactions, which have been precalculated f...
