: Computational classification of proteins using methods such as string kernels and Fisher-SVM has demonstrated great success. However, the resulting models do not offer an immedia...
Background: The toxic effects of many simple organic compounds stem from their biotransformation to chemically reactive metabolites which bind covalently to cellular proteins. To ...

Background: The task of computing highly accurate structural alignments of proteins in very short computation time is still challenging. This is partly due to the complexity of pr...
Background: In the last decade, techniques were established for the large scale genome-wide analysis of proteins, RNA, and metabolites, and database solutions have been developed ...
Jan Hummel, Michaela Niemann, Stefanie Wienkoop, W...
Background: The relationship between divergence of amino-acid sequence and divergence of function among homologous proteins is complex. The assumption that homologs share function...

Background: Protein remote homology detection is a central problem in computational biology. Most recent methods train support vector machines to discriminate between related and ...
Background: For successful protein structure prediction by comparative modeling, in addition to identifying a good template protein with known structure, obtaining an accurate seq...
Background: The simulation of metabolic networks in quantitative systems biology requires the assignment of enzymatic kinetic parameters. Experimentally determined values are ofte...

Background: The ab initio protein folding problem consists of predicting protein tertiary structure from a given amino acid sequence by minimizing an energy function; it is one of...
Background: The pyridine nucleotide disulfide reductase (PNDR) is a large and heterogeneous protein family divided into two classes (I and II), which reflect the divergent evoluti...
