Tag: I-TASSER

Why is this guide focusing on AlphaFold 2, an algorithm that has only competed in and won a single CASP experiment? After all, I-TASSER — called Zhang or Yang-Server in the CASP events — has won more than any other algorithm. While I-TASSER has many merits and forms the basis…

NovaFold AI prediction software from DNASTAR is designed to streamline the entire AlphaFold 2 workflow, with no need to buy a specialized computer. In addition, both the prediction setup and downstream analysis take only a few minutes of hands-on time. Before showing the simple step-by-step workflow, we want to explain…

Ethics approval and consent to participate The study was performed in accordance with the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals of the US National Institutes of Health (NIH). The Seattle Children’s Research Institute (SCRI) has an Assurance from the Public Health Service through the Office of Laboratory…

Hi guys, I want to make a protein-ligand docking from a PREDICTED protein structure (HSD17B2, calidris pugnax) (AlphaFold and D-I-TASSER) and I decided to use HADDOCK as it has been reported by many recent papers to be the overall best. The ligand I want to use id TESTOSTERONE , so…

Big pharma companies have been researching protein folding for a long time now. Discoveries and innovations in the field can revolutionise the development of drug and other biological advancement. Recently, the development of the COVID-19 vaccine was also supported by tackling this issue.  Protein folding prediction process involves a combination…

February 28, 2022, Madison, WI DNASTAR® announced today a new release of their leading protein structure prediction software, NovaFold, that incorporates the award-winning AlphaFold 2 AI system developed by Google-owned DeepMind. AlphaFold 2 was the top-ranked protein structure prediction method in the CASP14 challenge in 2020, significantly outperforming the other…

Study of RUNX2 locus in modern and ancient humans The sequences of the RUNX2 locus (Chr6:45,318,000–45,670,000 hg38, for a total of 352.000 bases) have been aligned in AMH and ancient species’ (Neandertal and Denisovan) genomes to map the changes occurred during recent evolution. We have identified 459 and 470 changes…

S. Both AlphaFold and Xu use simple folding engines L-BFGS (L- Broyden–Fletcher–Goldfarb– Shanno (BFGS)) and CNS (Crystallography and NMR System), respectively, i.e., improvements come from a better energy potential using distributional information. The phase problem is a problem, to the point that in the past decade, several structures, such as M-PMV…

Interpreting I-TASSER output 1 Hi, Recently, i have received a protein structure result from I-TASSER. Here i have few questions to interpret the result: What does it mean by solvent accessibility value (0 to 9)? Does it mean near to 9 is more accessible to solvents? And if it likes…

Significance Class A penicillin-binding proteins (aPBPs) assemble the bacterial cell wall and are the targets of penicillin and related β-lactam antibiotics. In gram-negative bacteria, the aPBPs require outer membrane lipoproteins to function. However, little is known about how these proteins promote the activity of their cognate synthases in cells. Here,…
