The secondary and tertiary structure of a protein has a primary role in determining its function. Even though many folding prediction algorithms have been developed in the past decades - mainly based on the assumption that folding instructions are en...
Ensemble docking has provided an inexpensive method to account for receptor flexibility in molecular docking for virtual screening. Unfortunately, as there is no rigorous theory to connect the docking scores from multiple structures to measured activ...

In recent years, three-dimensional density maps reconstructed from single particle images obtained by electron cryo-microscopy (cryo-EM) have reached unprecedented resolution. However, map interpretation can be challenging, in particular if the const...
Protein secondary structure prediction remains a vital topic with broad applications. Due to lack of a widely accepted standard in secondary structure predictor evaluation, a fair comparison of predictors is challenging. A detailed examination of fac...
BACKGROUND: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in a variety of biological processes by regulating gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. So, the discovery of new miRNAs has become a popular task in biological research. Since the expe...
BACKGROUND: Recently developed methods of protein contact prediction, a crucially important step for protein structure prediction, depend heavily on deep neural networks (DNNs) and multiple sequence alignments (MSAs) of target proteins. Protein seque...
Designing protein sequences that fold to a given three-dimensional (3D) structure has long been a challenging problem in computational structural biology with significant theoretical and practical implications. In this study, we first formulated this...

Formation of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) dimers and higher order oligomers represents a key mechanism in pleiotropic signaling, yet how individual protomers function within oligomers remains poorly understood. For the Class A/rhodopsin subfam...
The majority of our human genome transcribes into noncoding RNAs with unknown structures and functions. Obtaining functional clues for noncoding RNAs requires accurate base-pairing or secondary-structure prediction. However, the performance of such p...
: The practice of turning scientific data into music, a practice known as sonification, is a growing field. Driven by analogies between the hierarchical structures of proteins and many forms of music, multiple attempts of mapping proteins to music ha...
