Machine learning has shown enormous potential for computer-aided drug discovery. Here we show how modern convolutional neural networks (CNNs) can be applied to structure-based virtual screening. We have coupled our densely connected CNN (DenseNet) wi...
Predicting protein structure from sequence alone is challenging. Thus, the majority of methods for protein structure prediction rely on evolutionary information from multiple sequence alignments. In previous work we showed that Long Short-Term Bidire...

The value of protein models obtained with automated protein structure prediction depends primarily on their accuracy. Protein model quality assessment is thus critical to select the model that can best answer biologically relevant questions from an e...
Protein nitration and nitrosylation are essential post-translational modifications (PTMs) involved in many fundamental cellular processes. Recent studies have revealed that excessive levels of nitration and nitrosylation in some critical proteins are...
BACKGROUND: The ability to predict the interaction of drugs with target proteins is essential to research and development of drug. However, the traditional experimental paradigm is costly, and previous in silico prediction paradigms have been impeded...
