Background: Cell specific gene expression is largely regulated by different combinations of transcription factors that bind cis-elements in the upstream promoter sequence. However...

Background: T-cell epitopes that promiscuously bind to multiple alleles of a human leukocyte antigen (HLA) supertype are prime targets for development of vaccines and immunotherap...

Background: It is well known that most of the binding free energy of protein interaction is contributed by a few key hot spot residues. These residues are crucial for understandin...
