Structural and electronic factors influencing selective inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2 and 5-lipoxygenase (COX-2/5-LOX) were studied by using Electronic-Topological Method combined with Neural Networks (ETM-NN), molecular docking, and Density Functio...
Protein phosphorylation is important in cellular pathways and altered in disease. We developed MIMP (http://mimp.baderlab.org/), a machine learning method to predict the impact of missense single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) on kinase-substrate interac...
Catalytic promiscuity in enzymes refers to their ability to catalyze multiple chemically distinct reactions in addition to their native activity. The increasing discovery of additional enzymes exhibiting catalytic promiscuity has underscored the sign...
Engineered proteases with bespoke substrate specificities and activities can empower broad and innovative applications in biomedicine, mass spectrometry-based proteomics, and chemical and synthetic biology. This review provides an authoritative, topi...
Many members of the broad family of enzymes, known as YcaOs have been shown to install azoline heterocycles post-translationally into peptide substrates. These moieties can help rigidify structures and contribute to the potent bioactivities of the ev...

The prenylation of aromatic compounds significantly enhances their metabolic stability and bioactivity. Prenyltransferases, as essential biocatalysts, facilitate the regioselective transfer of prenyl groups from donors to aromatic substrates. This re...
The human CHCHD4 protein, which is a prototypical family member, carries a coiled-coil-helix-coiled-coil-helix motif that is stabilized by two disulfide bonds. Using its CPC sequence motif, CHCHD4 plays a key role in mitochondrial metabolism, cell su...
