An accurate energy scoring function is crucial for protein structure prediction. Given the increasing number of experimentally determined structures, knowledge-based approaches have been widely used to develop scoring functions for protein structure ...
The Gene or DNA sequence in every cell does not control genetic properties on its own; Rather, this is done through the translation of DNA into protein and subsequent formation of a certain 3D structure. The biological function of a protein is tightl...
Canonical π-helices are short, relatively unstable secondary structure elements found in proteins. They comprise seven or more residues and are present in 15% of all known protein structures, often in functionally important regions such as ligand- an...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The extraction of interactions between chemicals and proteins from biomedical literature is important for many biomedical tasks such as drug discovery and precision medicine. In the existing systems, the methods achieving co...
Flexibility is often a key determinant of protein function. To elucidate the link between their molecular structure and role in an organism, computational techniques such as molecular dynamics can be leveraged to characterize their conformational spa...
BACKGROUND: Human immunology studies often rely on the isolation and quantification of cell populations from an input sample based on flow cytometry and related techniques. Such techniques classify cells into populations based on the detection of a p...

The order of amino acids in a protein sequence enables the protein to acquire a conformation suitable for performing functions, thereby motivating the need to analyze these sequences for predicting functions. Although machine learning based approache...
Small molecule effectors are essential for drug discovery. Specific molecular recognition, reversible binding and dose-dependency are usually key requirements to ensure utility of a novel chemical entity. However, artefactual frequent-hitter and assa...
Polyadenylation signals (PAS) are found in most protein-coding and some non-coding genes in eukaryotes. Their accurate recognition improves understanding gene regulation mechanisms and recognition of the 3'-end of transcribed gene regions where prema...
Metals have crucial roles for many physiological, pathological and diagnostic processes. Metal binding proteins or metalloproteins are important for metabolism functions. The proteins that reach the three-dimensional structure by folding show which v...
