Predicting protein conformational changes from unbound structures or even homology models to bound structures remains a critical challenge for protein docking. Here we present a study directly addressing the challenge by reducing the dimensionality a...
G Protein-Coupled Receptors (GPCRs) are important pharmaceutical targets. More than 30% of currently marketed pharmaceutical medicines target GPCRs. Numerous studies have reported that GPCRs function not only as monomers but also as homo- or hetero-d...

Predicting the three-dimensional native structures of protein dimers, a problem known as protein-protein docking, is key to understanding molecular interactions. Docking is a computationally challenging problem due to the diversity of interactions an...
The study of biomolecular interactions between a drug and its biological target is of paramount importance for the design of novel bioactive compounds. In this paper, we report on the use of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and machine learning to...

An effective approach in the development of novel antivirals is to target the assembly of viral capsids by using capsid assembly modulators (CAMs). CAMs targeting hepatitis B virus (HBV) have two major modes of function: they can either accelerate nu...

RAS is a signaling protein associated with the cell membrane that is mutated in up to 30% of human cancers. RAS signaling has been proposed to be regulated by dynamic heterogeneity of the cell membrane. Investigating such a mechanism requires near-at...
Protein-protein interactions play a fundamental role in all cellular processes. Therefore, determining the structure of protein-protein complexes is crucial to understand their molecular mechanisms and develop drugs targeting the protein-protein inte...
Self-Interacting Proteins (SIPs), whose two or more copies can interact with each other, have significant roles in cellular functions and evolution of Protein Interaction Networks (PINs). Knowing whether a protein can act on itself is important to un...
