Virtual screening is a promising method for obtaining novel hit compounds in drug discovery. It aims to enrich potentially active compounds from a large chemical library for further biological experiments. However, the accuracy of current virtual scr...
Aptamer-protein interacting pairs play important roles in physiological functions and structural characterization. Identifying aptamer-protein interacting pairs is challenging and limited, despite of the tremendous applications of aptamers. Therefore...
BACKGROUND: The ability to predict which pairs of amino acid residues in a protein are in contact with each other offers many advantages for various areas of research that focus on proteins. For example, contact prediction can be used to reduce the c...
Protein-peptide interactions play an important role in major cellular processes, and are associated with several human diseases. To understand and potentially regulate these cellular function and diseases it is important to know the molecular details...
A versatile strategy, based on the use of an amphiphilic copolymer as a macromonomer, was developed for the preparation of a fully synthetic MIP (molecularly imprinted polymer) sensor for protein recognition. A UV-crosslinkable copolymer poly(DMA-co-...
The amino acid sequence of a protein encodes the blueprint of its native structure. To predict the corresponding structural fold from the protein's sequence is one of most challenging problems in computational biology. In this work, we introduce DEST...
BACKGROUND: Ligand-binding proteins play key roles in many biological processes. Identification of protein-ligand binding residues is important in understanding the biological functions of proteins. Existing computational methods can be roughly categ...
