Using computational techniques to identify intrinsically disordered residues is practical and effective in biological studies. Therefore, designing novel high-accuracy strategies is always preferable when existing strategies have a lot of room for im...
Accurate protein structure prediction from amino acid sequence is still an unsolved problem. The most reliable methods centre on template based modelling. However, the accuracy of these models entirely depends on the availability of experimentally re...
Antibiotics of β-lactam class account for nearly half of the global antibiotic use. The β-lactamase enzyme is a major element of the bacterial arsenals to escape the lethal effect of β-lactam antibiotics. Different variants of β-lactamases have evolv...
Cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) facilitate the transport of pharmacologically active molecules, such as plasmid DNA, short interfering RNA, nanoparticles, and small peptides. The accurate identification of new and unique CPPs is the initial step to ...
Membrane proteins are vital type of proteins that serve as channels, receptors and energy transducers in a cell. They perform various important functions, which are mainly associated with their types. They are also attractive targets of drug discover...

Antioxidant proteins can be beneficial in disease prevention. More attention has been paid to the functionality of antioxidant proteins. Therefore, identifying antioxidant proteins is important for the study. In our work, we propose a computational m...
As of April 2018, UniProtKB has collected more than 115 million protein sequences. Less than 0.15% of these proteins, however, have been associated with experimental GO annotations. As such, the use of automatic protein function prediction (AFP) to r...
Residue solvent accessibility is closely related to the spatial arrangement and packing of residues. Predicting the solvent accessibility of a protein is an important step to understand its structure and function. In this work, we present a deep lear...
