In computational biology, the Protein Remote homology Detection technique (PRHD) has got undeniable significance. It is mostly important for structure and function identification of a protein sequence. The previous years have seen a challenge that la...
Tape measure (TM) proteins are essential for the formation of long-tailed phages. TM protein assembly into tails requires the action of tail assembly chaperones (TACs). TACs (e.g. gpG and gpT of E. coli phage lambda) are usually produced in a short (...
Machine learning has been increasingly used for protein engineering. However, because the general sequence contexts they capture are not specific to the protein being engineered, the accuracy of existing machine learning algorithms is rather limited....
Sesquiterpene synthases (STSs) catalyze the formation of a large class of plant volatiles called sesquiterpenes. While thousands of putative STS sequences from diverse plant species are available, only a small number of them have been functionally ch...
Identification of thermostable and alkaline xylanases from different fungal and bacterial species have gained an interest for the researchers because of its biotechnological relevance in many industries, such as pulp, paper, and bioethanol. In this s...
Accurate prediction of protein secondary structure (alpha-helix, beta-strand and coil) is a crucial step for protein inter-residue contact prediction and ab initio tertiary structure prediction. In a previous study, we developed a deep belief network...
The CRISPR-Cas are adaptive bacterial and archaeal immunity systems that have been harnessed for the development of powerful genome editing and engineering tools. In the incessant host-parasite arms race, viruses evolved multiple anti-defense mechani...
BACKGROUND: Long short-term memory (LSTM) is one of the most attractive deep learning methods to learn time series or contexts of input data. Increasing studies, including biological sequence analyses in bioinformatics, utilize this architecture. Ami...
Engineering of GPCR constructs with improved thermostability is a key for successful structural and biochemical studies of this transmembrane protein family, targeted by 40% of all therapeutic drugs. Here we introduce a comprehensive computational ap...
In synthetic biology, one of the key focuses is building a minimal artificial cell which can provide basic chassis for functional study. Recently, the J. Craig Venter Institute published the latest version of the minimal bacterial genome JCVI-syn3.0,...
