Protein aggregation occurs when misfolded or unfolded proteins physically bind together, and can promote the development of various amyloid diseases. This study aimed to construct surrogate models for predicting protein aggregation via…

Drug discovery seeks molecules (ligands) that bind strongly and selectively to a target protein. However, fewer than 5% of candidate ligands pass the bar for even the early stages of drug discovery. Furthermore, we want methods that work…

Deep learning has been widely used for protein engineering. However, it is limited by the lack of sufficient experimental data to train an accurate model for predicting the functional fitness of high-order mutants. Here, we develop SESNet,…
