While the multiple sequence alignment output by an aligner strongly depends on the parameter values used for the alignment scoring function (such as the choice of gap penalties and substitution scores), most users rely on the single default parameter...
Self-interacting Proteins (SIPs) play an essential role in a wide range of biological processes, such as gene expression regulation, signal transduction, enzyme activation and immune response. Because of the limitations for experimental self-interact...
This paper reviews recent research relating to the application of bioinformatics approaches to determining HIV-1 protease specificity, outlines outstanding issues, and presents a new approach to addressing these issues. Leading machine learning theor...

To date, classification of structural class using local protein structure rather than the whole structure has been gaining widespread attention. It is noted that the structural class lies in local composition or arrangement of secondary structure, wh...
G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are seven membrane-spanning proteins and regulate many important physiological processes, such as vision, neurotransmission, immune response and so on. GPCRs-related pathways are the targets of a large number of ma...
