Protein phosphorylation is one of the key mechanism in prokaryotes and eukaryotes and is responsible for various biological functions such as protein degradation, intracellular localization, the multitude of cellular processes, molecular association,...
The topology of protein folds can be specified by the inter-residue contact-maps and accurate contact-map prediction can help ab initio structure folding. We developed TripletRes to deduce protein contact-maps from discretized distance profiles by en...
The problem of finding the correct set of partners for a given pair of interacting protein families based on multi-sequence alignments (MSAs) has received great attention over the years. Recently, the native contacts of two interacting proteins were ...

Efficient molecular featurization is one of the major issues for machine learning models in drug design. Here, we propose a persistent Ricci curvature (PRC), in particular, Ollivier PRC (OPRC), for the molecular featurization and feature engineering,...
Aptamers are short oligonucleotides (DNA/RNA) or peptide molecules that can selectively bind to their specific targets with high specificity and affinity. As a powerful new class of amino acid ligands, aptamers have high potentials in biosensing, the...
The energetics of protein-carbohydrate interactions, central to many life processes, cannot yet be manipulated predictably. This is mostly due to an incomplete quantitative understanding of the enthalpic and entropic basis of these interactions in aq...
