Protein structures are classically described as composed of two regular states, the α-helices
and the β-strands and one non-regular and variable state, the coil. Nonetheless, this simple …

Background Target specific antibodies are pivotal for the design of vaccines,
immunodiagnostic tests, studies on proteomics for cancer biomarker discovery, identification …

In Saudi Arabia, seawater desalination is the primary source of acquiring freshwater, and
groundwater contains a high concentration of toxic heavy metals. Chromium (Cr) is one of …

Recognizing the structural similarity without significant sequence identity (called fold
recognition) is the key for bridging the gap between the number of known protein sequences …

Proteins can move freely in three‐dimensional space. As a result, their structural properties,
such as solvent accessible surface area, backbone dihedral angles, and atomic distances …

Prediction of the protein secondary structure is a key issue in protein science. Protein
secondary structure prediction (PSSP) aims to construct a function that can map the amino …

Sequence-based prediction of protein secondary structure (SS) enjoys wide-spread and
increasing use for the analysis and prediction of numerous structural and functional …

Background Protein secondary structure prediction method based on probabilistic models
such as hidden Markov model (HMM) appeals to many because it provides meaningful …

The backbone structure of a protein is largely determined by the ϕ and ψ torsion angles.
Thus, knowing these angles, even if approximately, will be very useful for protein‐structure …

Micro-indels (insertions or deletions shorter than 21 bps) constitute the second most
frequent class of human gene mutation after single nucleotide variants. Despite the relative …
