Advances in Protein Prediction: From Sequence to Structure and Function

Jiangyi Shao

Proteins are the workhorses of the cell, performing a wide variety of functions, from catalyzing chemical reactions to transmitting signals within and between cells. Understanding protein structure and function is essential for a range of fields, including drug discovery, biotechnology, and molecular biology. Protein prediction, the process of inferring protein structure and function from sequence data, has undergone tremendous advances in recent years. In this manuscript, we review the state-of-the-art in protein prediction, focusing on the latest techniques for predicting protein structure, function, and interactions. Protein prediction is a crucial area of research in the life sciences. The ability to predict protein structure and function from sequence data can provide insights into protein function, disease mechanisms, and potential drug targets.
