BACKGROUND: The prediction of a protein's secondary structure from its amino acid sequence is an essential step towards predicting its 3-D structure. The prediction performance improves by incorporating homologous multiple sequence alignment informat...
MOTIVATION: Predictions of protein backbone torsion angles (ϕ and ψ) and secondary structure from sequence are crucial subproblems in protein structure prediction. With the development of deep learning approaches, their accuracies have been significa...
MOTIVATION: Protein structures provide basic insight into how they can interact with other proteins, their functions and biological roles in an organism. Experimental methods (e.g. X-ray crystallography and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy) fo...
MOTIVATION: RNA-protein interactions are key effectors of post-transcriptional regulation. Significant experimental and bioinformatics efforts have been expended on characterizing protein binding mechanisms on the molecular level, and on highlighting...
MOTIVATION: Protein structural annotations (PSAs) are essential abstractions to deal with the prediction of protein structures. Many increasingly sophisticated PSAs have been devised in the last few decades. However, the need for annotations that are...
MOTIVATION: The Protein Data Bank (PDB), the ultimate source for data in structural biology, is inherently imbalanced. To alleviate biases, virtually all structural biology studies use nonredundant (NR) subsets of the PDB, which include only a fracti...
MOTIVATION: Protein secondary structure and backbone torsion angle prediction can provide important information for predicting protein 3D structures and protein functions. Our new methods MUFold-SS, MUFold-Angle, MUFold-BetaTurn and MUFold-GammaTurn,...
MOTIVATION: Messenger RNA subcellular localization mechanisms play a crucial role in post-transcriptional gene regulation. This trafficking is mediated by trans-acting RNA-binding proteins interacting with cis-regulatory elements called zipcodes. Whi...
MOTIVATION: Sequence-based prediction of one dimensional structural properties of proteins has been a long-standing subproblem of protein structure prediction. Recently, prediction accuracy has been significantly improved due to the rapid expansion o...
MOTIVATION: Domain boundary prediction is one of the most important problems in the study of protein structure and function. Many sequence-based domain boundary prediction methods are either template-based or machine learning (ML) based. ML-based met...
