The deep learning revolution introduced a new and efficacious way to address computational challenges in a wide range of fields, relying on large data sets and powerful computational resources. In protein engineering, we consider the challenge of com...
We developed a method to improve protein thermostability, "loop-walking method". Three consecutive positions in 12 loops of Burkholderia cepacia lipase were subjected to random mutagenesis to make 12 libraries. Screening allowed us to identify L7 as ...
: Structure-based virtual screening (SBVS) is an essential strategy for hit identification. SBVS primarily uses molecular docking, which exploits the protein-ligand binding mode and associated affinity score for compound ranking. Previous studies hav...
Accurate prediction of protein-ligand interactions can greatly promote drug development. Recently, a number of deep-learning-based methods have been proposed to predict protein-ligand binding affinities. However, these methods independently extract t...
I outline how over my career as a protein scientist Machine Learning has impacted my area of science and one of my pastimes, chess, where there are some interesting parallels. In 1968, modelling of three-dimensional structures was initiated based on ...
Single-molecule force spectroscopy has become a powerful tool for the exploration of dynamic processes that involve proteins; yet, meaningful interpretation of the experimental data remains challenging. Owing to low signal-to-noise ratio, experimenta...
: Structure-guided drug discovery relies on accurate computational methods for modeling macromolecules. Simulations provide means of predicting macromolecular folds, of discovering function from structure, and of designing macromolecules to serve as ...
Protein structure prediction is a way to bridge the sequence-structure gap, one of the main challenges in computational biology and chemistry. Predicting any protein's accurate structure is of paramount importance for the scientific community, as the...
Lysine succinylation is a typical protein post-translational modification and plays a crucial role of regulation in the cellular process. Identifying succinylation sites is fundamental to explore its functions. Although many computational methods wer...
As more bioactivity and protein structure data become available, scoring functions (SFs) using machine learning (ML) to leverage these data sets continue to gain further accuracy and broader applicability. Advances in our understanding of the optimal...
