Transmembrane β-barrels (TMBs) are one important class of membrane proteins that play crucial functions in the cell. Membrane proteins are difficult wet-lab targets of structural biology, which call for accurate computational prediction approaches. H...
BACKGROUND: The conjugation of ubiquitin to a substrate protein (protein ubiquitylation), which involves a sequential process--E1 activation, E2 conjugation and E3 ligation, is crucial to the regulation of protein function and activity in eukaryotes....
The peptides derived from envelope proteins have been shown to inhibit the protein-protein interactions in the virus membrane fusion process and thus have a great potential to be developed into effective antiviral therapies. There are three types of ...

Membrane transport proteins and their substrate specificities play crucial roles in a variety of cellular functions. Identifying the substrate specificities of membrane transport proteins is closely related to the protein-target interaction predictio...
Bioluminescence plays an important role in nature, for example, it is used for intracellular chemical signalling in bacteria. It is also used as a useful reagent for various analytical research methods ranging from cellular imaging to gene expression...
MOTIVATION: With the booming of interactome studies, a lot of interactions can be measured in a high throughput way and large scale datasets are available. It is becoming apparent that many different types of interactions can be potential drug target...
UNLABELLED: S-sulfenylation (S-sulphenylation, or sulfenic acid), the covalent attachment of S-hydroxyl (-SOH) to cysteine thiol, plays a significant role in redox regulation of protein functions. Although sulfenic acid is transient and labile, most ...
There are currently 151 plants with draft genomes available but levels of functional annotation for putative protein products are low. Therefore, accurate computational predictions are essential to annotate genomes in the first instance, and to provi...
MOTIVATION: Protein contact prediction is important for protein structure and functional study. Both evolutionary coupling (EC) analysis and supervised machine learning methods have been developed, making use of different information sources. However...
