Klebsiella pneumoniae is a type of Gram-negative bacterium which can cause a range of infections in human. In recent years, an increasing number of strains of K. pneumoniae resistant to multiple antibiotics have emerged, posing a significant threat t...
Leveraging iterative alignment search through genomic and metagenome sequence databases, we report the DeepMSA2 pipeline for uniform protein single- and multichain multiple-sequence alignment (MSA) construction. Large-scale benchmarks show that DeepM...
Protein contact map prediction is a critical and vital step in protein structure prediction, and its accuracy is highly contingent upon the feature representations of protein sequence information and the efficacy of deep learning models. In this pape...
AlphaFold2 (ref. ) has revolutionized structural biology by accurately predicting single structures of proteins. However, a protein's biological function often depends on multiple conformational substates, and disease-causing point mutations often ca...
Exploiting sequence-structure-function relationships in biotechnology requires improved methods for aligning proteins that have low sequence similarity to previously annotated proteins. We develop two deep learning methods to address this gap, TM-Vec...
We report the results of the "UM-TBM" and "Zheng" groups in CASP15 for protein monomer and complex structure prediction. These prediction sets were obtained using the D-I-TASSER and DMFold-Multimer algorithms, respectively. For monomer structure pred...
Molecular phylogenetics and evolution
Aug 16, 2023
Selecting the best model of sequence evolution for a multiple-sequence-alignment (MSA) constitutes the first step of phylogenetic tree reconstruction. Common approaches for inferring nucleotide models typically apply maximum likelihood (ML) methods, ...
The discovery of selective and potent kinase inhibitors is crucial for the treatment of various diseases, but the process is challenging due to the high structural similarity among kinases. Efficient kinome-wide bioactivity profiling is essential for...
Current opinion in structural biology
