Scoring functions are the essential component in molecular docking methods. An accurate scoring function is expected to distinguish the native ligand pose from decoy poses. Our previous experience (Pei et al. 2019, 59 (7), 3305-3315) proved that com...
Engineering proteins to have desired properties by mutating amino acids at specific sites is commonplace. Such engineered proteins must be stable to function. Experimental methods used to determine stability at throughputs required to scan the protei...
Since the first revelation of proteins functioning as macromolecular machines through their three dimensional structures, researchers have been intrigued by the marvelous ways the biochemical processes are carried out by proteins. The aspiration to u...

Advances in high-throughput techniques lead to evolving a large number of unknown protein sequences (UPS). Functional characterization of UPS is significant for the investigation of disease symptoms and drug repositioning. Protein subcellular localiz...
The rise of high-throughput experiments has transformed how scientists approach biological questions. The ubiquity of large-scale assays that can test thousands of samples in a day has necessitated the development of new computational approaches to i...
The incorporation of unnatural amino acids (Uaas) has provided an avenue for novel chemistries to be explored in biological systems. However, the successful application of Uaas is often hampered by site-specific impacts on protein yield and solubilit...
Peptide-protein interactions are involved in various fundamental cellular functions and their identification is crucial for designing efficacious peptide therapeutics. Recently, a number of computational methods have been developed to predict peptide...
BACKGROUND: Accurate prediction of protein tertiary structures is highly desired as the knowledge of protein structures provides invaluable insights into protein functions. We have designed two approaches to protein structure prediction, including a ...
Protein Structure Prediction (PSP) is considered to be a complicated problem in computational biology. In spite of, the remarkable progress made by the co-evolution-based method in PSP, it is still a challenging and unresolved problem. Recently, alon...
Protein function is fundamentally reliant on inter-molecular interactions that underpin the ability of proteins to form complexes driving biological processes in living cells. Increasingly, such interactions are recognised as being formed between pro...
