Learning the PTM Code through a Coarse-to-Fine, Mechanism-Aware Framework

Jingjie Zhang, Hanqun Cao, Zijun Gao +8

Post-translational modifications (PTMs) form a combinatorial "code" that regulates protein function, yet deciphering this code - linking modified sites to their catalytic enzymes -…

Lightweight MSA Design Advances Protein Folding From Evolutionary Embeddings

Hanqun Cao, Xinyi Zhou, Zijun Gao +7

Protein structure prediction often hinges on multiple sequence alignments (MSAs), which underperform on low-homology and orphan proteins. We introduce PLAME, a lightweight MSA desi…
