How can we design proteins with desired functions? We are motivated by a chemical intuition that both geometric structure and biochemical properties are critical to a protein's function. In this paper, we propose SurfPro, a new method to…
RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) has become an exemplar technology in modern biology and clinical applications over the past decade. It has gained immense popularity in the recent years driven by continuous efforts of the bioinformatics community…
Many computerized methods for RNA-RNA interaction structure prediction have been developed. Recently, $O(N^6)$ time and $O(N^4)$ space dynamic programming algorithms have become available that compute the partition function of RNA-RNA…
Background. Dramatic increases in RNA structural data have made it possible to recognize its conformational preferences much better than a decade ago. This has created an opportunity to use discrete restraint-based conformational sampling…
Consistently predicting biopolymer structure at atomic resolution from sequence alone remains a difficult problem, even for small sub-segments of large proteins. Such loop prediction challenges, which arise frequently in comparative…
Generative probabilistic models have shown promise in designing artificial RNA and protein sequences but often suffer from high rates of false positives, where sequences predicted as functional fail experimental validation. To address this…
Deep learning is a promising, ultra-fast approach for inverse design in nano-optics, but despite fast advancement of the field, the computational cost of dataset generation, as well as of the training procedure itself remains a major…

Recent single-molecule pulling experiments have shown how it is possible to manipulate RNA molecules using optical tweezers force microscopy. We investigate a minimal model for the experimental setup which includes a RNA molecule connected…
The highly charged RNA molecules, with each phosphate carrying a single negative charge, cannot fold into well-defined architectures with tertiary interactions, in the absence of ions. For ribozymes, divalent cations are known to be more…
Deep generative modeling to stochastically design small molecules is an emerging technology for accelerating drug discovery and development. However, one major issue in molecular generative models is their lower frequency of drug-like…
Rising costs in recent years of developing new drugs and treatments have led to extensive research in optimization techniques in biomolecular design. Currently, the most widely used approach in biomolecular design is directed evolution,…
Designing high-performance substrate-integrated waveguide (SIW) filters with both closely spaced and widely separated resonances is challenging. Consequently, there is a growing need for robust methods that reduce reliance on time-consuming…
The RNA inverse folding problem aims to identify nucleotide sequences that preferentially adopt a given target secondary structure. While various heuristic and machine learning-based approaches have been proposed, many require a large…
