The stability of proteins at higher temperatures is crucial for their functionality, which is measured by their melting temperature (Tm). The Tm is the temperature at which 50% of the protein loses its native structure and activity. Existing methods ...
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) face stability and toxicity challenges in clinical use. Stapled modification enhances their stability and effectiveness, but its application in peptide design is rarely reported. This study built ten prediction models fo...
MOTIVATION: The knowledge of protein stability upon residue variation is an important step for functional protein design and for understanding how protein variants can promote disease onset. Computational methods are important to complement experimen...
MOTIVATION: Accurate prediction of change in protein stability due to point mutations is an attractive goal that remains unachieved. Despite the high interest in this area, little consideration has been given to the transformer architecture, which is...
Understanding the effects of mutations on protein stability is crucial for variant interpretation and prioritisation, protein engineering, and biotechnology. Despite significant efforts, community assessments of predictive tools have highlighted ongo...

Predicting protein thermostability change upon mutation is crucial for understanding diseases and designing therapeutics. However, accurately estimating Gibbs free energy change of the protein remained a challenge. Some methods struggle to generalize...
A review, recently published in this journal by Fang (2019), showed that methods trained for the prediction of protein stability changes upon mutation have a very critical bias: they neglect that a protein variation (A- > B) and its reverse (B- > A) ...
The majority of naturally occurring proteins have evolved to function under mild conditions inside the living organisms. One of the critical obstacles for the use of proteins in biotechnological applications is their insufficient stability at elevate...
A number of machine learning (ML)-based algorithms have been proposed for predicting mutation-induced stability changes in proteins. In this critical review, we used hypothetical reverse mutations to evaluate the performance of five representative al...
