The computational prediction of ligand-biopolymer affinities is a crucial endeavor in modern drug discovery and one that still poses major challenges. The choice of the appropriate computational method often reveals itself as a trade-off between accu...
Protein flexibility and solvation pose major challenges to docking algorithms and scoring functions. One established strategy for addressing these challenges is to use multiple protein conformations for docking (all-against-all ensemble docking). Rec...
Succinylation is a type of protein post-translational modification (PTM), which can play important roles in a variety of cellular processes. Due to an increasing number of site-specific succinylated peptides obtained from high-throughput mass spectro...

Structure-based drug design is critically dependent on accuracy of molecular docking scoring functions, and there is of significant interest to advance scoring functions with machine learning approaches. In this work, by judiciously expanding the tra...
BACKGROUND: Accurate prediction of inter-residue contacts of a protein is important to calculating its tertiary structure. Analysis of co-evolutionary events among residues has been proved effective in inferring inter-residue contacts. The Markov ran...
Accurate identification of ligand-binding sites and discovering the protein-ligand interaction mechanism are important for understanding proteins' functions and designing new drugs. Meanwhile, accurate computational prediction and mechanism research ...
Protein-protein interaction (PPI) extraction from published scientific literature provides additional support for precision medicine efforts. Meanwhile, knowledge bases (KBs) contain huge amounts of structured information of protein entities and thei...
