Scaffolding protein functional sites using deep learning

Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia, Karla Montserrat Castro Gilabert, Basile Isidore Martin Wicky, Jue Wang

The binding and catalytic functions of proteins are generally mediated by a small number of functional residues held in place by the overall protein structure. Here, we describe deep learning approaches for scaffolding such functional sites without needing ...
