De novo membrane protein structure prediction is limited to small proteins due to the conformational search space quickly expanding with length. Long-range contacts (24+ amino acid separation)-residue positions distant in sequence, but in close proxi...
Computational methods are employed in bioinformatics to predict protein-protein interactions (PPIs). PPIs and protein-protein non-interactions (PPNIs) display different levels of development, and the number of PPIs is considerably greater than that o...
BACKGROUND: It is necessary and essential to discovery protein function from the novel primary sequences. Wet lab experimental procedures are not only time-consuming, but also costly, so predicting protein structure and function reliably based only o...

Heme is an essential biomolecule that widely exists in numerous extant organisms. Accurately identifying heme binding residues (HEMEs) is of great importance in disease progression and drug development. In this study, a novel predictor named HEMEsPre...
BACKGROUND: Protein secondary structure prediction (SSP) has been an area of intense research interest. Despite advances in recent methods conducted on large datasets, the estimated upper limit accuracy is yet to be reached. Since the predictions of ...
MOTIVATION: Backbone structures and solvent accessible surface area of proteins are benefited from continuous real value prediction because it removes the arbitrariness of defining boundary between different secondary-structure and solvent-accessibil...
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...

Transmembrane β-barrels (TMBs) are one important class of membrane proteins that play crucial functions in the cell. Membrane proteins are difficult wet-lab targets of structural biology, which call for accurate computational prediction approaches. H...
Protein secondary structure (SS) prediction is important for studying protein structure and function. When only the sequence (profile) information is used as input feature, currently the best predictors can obtain ~80% Q3 accuracy, which has not been...
