LocPro: A deep learning-based prediction of protein subcellular localization for promoting multi-directional pharmaceutical research.

Drug development encompasses multiple processes, wherein protein subcellular localization is essential. It promotes target identification, treatment development, and the design of drug delivery systems. In this research, a deep learning framework called LocPro is presented for predicting protein subcellular localization.

SubCELL: the landscape of subcellular compartment-specific molecular interactions.

The subcellular compartment-specific molecular interactions (SCSIs) are the building blocks for most molecular functions, biological processes and disease pathogeneses. Extensive experiments have therefore been conducted to accumulate the valuable information of SCSIs, but none of the available databases has been constructed to describe those data. In this study, a novel knowledge base SubCELL is thus introduced to depict the landscape of SCSIs among DNAs/RNAs/proteins.

PDCdb: the biological activity and pharmaceutical information of peptide-drug conjugate (PDC).

Peptide-drug conjugates (PDCs) have emerged as a promising class of targeted therapeutics with substantial pharmaceutical advantages and market potentials, which is a combination of a peptide (selective to the disease-relevant target), a linker (stable in circulation but cleavable at target site) and a cytotoxic/radioactive drug (efficacious/traceable for disease). Among existing PDCs, those based on radiopharmaceuticals (a.k.
