Predicting protein conformational changes for unbound and homology docking: learning from intrinsic and induced flexibility.

Proteins
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...

GGIP: Structure and sequence-based GPCR-GPCR interaction pair predictor.

Proteins
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...

idDock+: Integrating Machine Learning in Probabilistic Search for Protein-Protein Docking.

Journal of computational biology : a journal of computational molecular cell biology
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 ligand binding mechanism to purine nucleoside phosphorylase elucidated via molecular dynamics and machine learning.

Nature communications
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...

Machine Learning of Molecular Dynamics Simulations Provides Insights into the Modulation of Viral Capsid Assembly.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
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...

Integrating different approaches for the identification of new disruptors of HIV-1 capsid multimerization.

Biochemical and biophysical research communications
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) belongs to the Lentivirus genus, Retroviridae family, enveloped by a lipid bilayer within which the capsid protein encases the viral genome, reverse transcriptase, and integrase proteins, key components for viral re...

Machine learning-driven multiscale modeling reveals lipid-dependent dynamics of RAS signaling proteins.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
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...

Accurate prediction of inter-protein residue-residue contacts for homo-oligomeric protein complexes.

Briefings in bioinformatics
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...

Computational Models for Self-Interacting Proteins Prediction.

Protein and peptide letters
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...
