This chapter outlines applications in genome mining, along with computational methods to predict protein structure and protein-ligand docking. It offers a simple computational route to rapidly identify proteins of interest from genomic and proteomic data, to accurately predict their three-dimensional structures, and to dock small molecules to their binding pockets and strategies to improve their biophysical properties depending on the needs of the experimental researcher.

The Tapetum Determinant 1 (TPD1) family proteins are known to play a crucial role in the regulation of reproduction in plants, including Cenchrus americanus (pearl millet). However, members of TPD1 family proteins have not been fully identified. The current study aims to identify and characterize the TPD1 family proteins in Cenchrus americanus (L.

This study provides comprehensive evidence supporting the existence of polycistronic mRNA expression in the apicomplexan parasite . Leveraging long-read RNA-seq data from different parasite strains and using multiple long-read technologies, we demonstrate the existence of defined polycistronic transcripts containing 2-4 protein encoding genes, several validated with RT-PCR.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFNatural products have long been a rich source of diverse and clinically effective drug candidates. Non-ribosomal peptides (NRPs), polyketides (PKs), and NRP-PK hybrids are three classes of natural products that display a broad range of bioactivities, including antibiotic, antifungal, anticancer, and immunosuppressant activities. However, discovering these compounds through traditional bioactivity-guided techniques is costly and time-consuming, often resulting in the rediscovery of known molecules.
