Binding sites in proteins can be either specifically functional binding sites (active sites) that bind specific substrates with high affinity or regulatory binding sites (allosteric sites), that modulate the activity of functional binding sites throu...
BACKGROUND: Protein secondary structure (PSS) is critical to further predict the tertiary structure, understand protein function and design drugs. However, experimental techniques of PSS are time consuming and expensive, and thus it's very urgent to ...
BACKGROUND: Acetylation on lysine is a widespread post-translational modification which is reversible and plays a crucial role in some biological activities. To better understand the mechanism, it is necessary to identify acetylation sites in protein...
Identification of drug-target interactions (DTIs) plays a key role in drug discovery. The high cost and labor-intensive nature of in vitro and in vivo experiments have highlighted the importance of in silico-based DTI prediction approaches. In severa...
BACKGROUND: Rapid progress in deep learning has spurred its application to bioinformatics problems including protein structure prediction and design. In classic machine learning problems like computer vision, progress has been driven by standardized ...
Chemical shifts (CS) are determined from NMR experiments and represent the resonance frequency of the spin of atoms in a magnetic field. They contain a mixture of information, encompassing the in-solution conformations a protein adopts, as well as th...
The disruption of large protein-protein (PP) interfaces remains a challenge in targeted therapy. Designing drugs that compete with binding partners is daunting, especially when the structure of the protein complex is unknown. To address the problem w...
Extracting a well-designed energy function is important for protein structure evaluation. Knowledge-based potential functions are one type of the energy functions which can be obtained from known protein structures. The pairwise potential between ato...
