Background. Protein dihedral angles provide a detailed description of protein local conformation. Predicted dihedral angles can be used to narrow down the conformational space of the whole polypeptide chain significantly, thus aiding protein tertiary structure prediction. However, direct angle prediction from sequence alone is challenging. Method. In this study, we present a novel method to predict real-valued angles by combining clustering and deep learning. That is, we first generate certain clusters of angles (each assigned a label) and then apply a deep residual neural network to predict the label posterior probability. Finally, we output real-valued prediction by a mixture of the clusters with their predicted probabilities. At the same time, we also estimate the bound of the prediction errors at each residue from the predicted label probabilities. Result. In this article, we present a novel method (named RaptorX-Angle) to predict real-valued angles by combining clustering and deep learning. Tested on a subset of PDB25 and the targets in the latest two Critical Assessment of protein Structure Prediction (CASP), our method outperforms the existing state-of-art method SPIDER2 in terms of Pearson Correlation Coefficient (PCC) and Mean Absolute Error (MAE). Our result also shows approximately linear relationship between the real prediction errors and our estimated bounds. That is, the real prediction error can be well approximated by our estimated bounds. Conclusions. Our study provides an alternative and more accurate prediction of dihedral angles, which may facilitate protein structure prediction and functional study.

This article introduces a novel protein structure alignment method (named TALI) based on the protein backbone torsion angle instead of the more traditional distance matrix. Because the structural alignment of the two proteins is based on the comparis
on of two sequences of numbers (backbone torsion angles), we can take advantage of a large number of well-developed methods such as Smith-Waterman or Needleman-Wunsch. Here we report the result of TALI in comparison to other structure alignment methods such as DALI, CE, and SSM ass well as sequence alignment based on PSI-BLAST. TALI demonstrated great success over all other methods in application to challenging proteins. TALI was more successful in recognizing remote structural homology. TALI also demonstrated an ability to identify structural homology between two proteins where the structural difference was due to a rotation of internal domains by nearly 180$^circ$.
Motivation: Protein-ligand affinity prediction is an important part of structure-based drug design. It includes molecular docking and affinity prediction. Although molecular dynamics can predict affinity with high accuracy at present, it is not suita
ble for large-scale virtual screening. The existing affinity prediction and evaluation functions based on deep learning mostly rely on experimentally-determined conformations. Results: We build a predictive model of protein-ligand affinity through the ResNet neural network with added attention mechanism. The resulting ResAtom-Score model achieves Pearsons correlation coefficient R = 0.833 on the CASF-2016 benchmark test set. At the same time, we evaluated the performance of a variety of existing scoring functions in combination with ResAtom-Score in the absence of experimentally-determined conformations. The results show that the use of {Delta}VinaRF20 in combination with ResAtom-Score can achieve affinity prediction close to scoring functions in the presence of experimentally-determined conformations. These results suggest that ResAtom system may be used for in silico screening of small molecule ligands with target proteins in the future. Availability: https://github.com/wyji001/ResAtom
Protein-RNA interactions are of vital importance to a variety of cellular activities. Both experimental and computational techniques have been developed to study the interactions. Due to the limitation of the previous database, especially the lack of
protein structure data, most of the existing computational methods rely heavily on the sequence data, with only a small portion of the methods utilizing the structural information. Recently, AlphaFold has revolutionized the entire protein and biology field. Foreseeably, the protein-RNA interaction prediction will also be promoted significantly in the upcoming years. In this work, we give a thorough review of this field, surveying both the binding site and binding preference prediction problems and covering the commonly used datasets, features, and models. We also point out the potential challenges and opportunities in this field. This survey summarizes the development of the RBP-RNA interaction field in the past and foresees its future development in the post-AlphaFold era.
Background: Typically, proteins perform key biological functions by interacting with each other. As a consequence, predicting which protein pairs interact is a fundamental problem. Experimental methods are slow, expensive, and may be error prone. Man
y computational methods have been proposed to identify candidate interacting pairs. When accurate, they can serve as an inexpensive, preliminary filtering stage, to be followed by downstream experimental validation. Among such methods, sequence-based ones are very promising. Results: We present MPS(T&B) (Maximum Protein Similarity Topological and Biological), a new algorithm that leverages both topological and biological information to predict protein-protein interactions. We comprehensively compare MPS(T) and MPS(T&B) with state-of-the-art approaches on reliable PPIs datasets, showing that they have competitive or higher accuracy on biologically validated test sets. Conclusion: MPS(T) and MPS(T&B) are topological only and topological plus sequence-based computational methods that can effectively predict the entire human interactome.
There is great interest to develop artificial intelligence-based protein-ligand affinity models due to their immense applications in drug discovery. In this paper, PointNet and PointTransformer, two pointwise multi-layer perceptrons have been applied
for protein-ligand affinity prediction for the first time. Three-dimensional point clouds could be rapidly generated from the data sets in PDBbind-2016, which contain 3 772 and 11 327 individual point clouds derived from the refined or/and general sets, respectively. These point clouds were used to train PointNet or PointTransformer, resulting in protein-ligand affinity prediction models with Pearson correlation coefficients R = 0.831 or 0.859 from the larger point clouds respectively, based on the CASF-2016 benchmark test. The analysis of the parameters suggests that the two deep learning models were capable to learn many interactions between proteins and their ligands, and these key atoms for the interaction could be visualized in point clouds. The protein-ligand interaction features learned by PointTransformer could be further adapted for the XGBoost-based machine learning algorithm, resulting in prediction models with an average Rp of 0.831, which is on par with the state-of-the-art machine learning models based on PDBbind database. These results suggest that point clouds derived from the PDBbind datasets are useful to evaluate the performance of 3D point clouds-centered deep learning algorithms, which could learn critical protein-ligand interactions from natural evolution or medicinal chemistry and have wide applications in studying protein-ligand interactions.
