Abstract
Transmembrane protein topology prediction methods play important roles in structural biology, because the structure determination of these types of proteins is extremely difficult by the common biophysical, biochemical and molecular biological methods. The need for accurate prediction methods is high, as the number of known membrane protein structures fall far behind the estimated number of these proteins in various genomes. The accuracy of these prediction methods appears to be higher than most prediction methods applied on globular proteins, however it decreases slightly with the increasing number of structures. Unfortunately, most prediction algorithms use common machine learning techniques, and they do not reveal why topologies are predicted with such a high success rate and which biophysical or biochemical properties are important to achieve this level of accuracy. Incorporating topology data determined so far into the prediction methods as constraints helps us to reach even higher prediction accuracy, therefore collection of such topology data is also an important issue.

Nutrition and Metabolism in Musculoskeletal Diseases
The musculoskeletal system consists mainly of cartilage, bone, muscles, tendons, connective tissue and ligaments. Balanced metabolism is of vital importance for the homeostasis of the musculoskeletal system. A series of musculoskeletal diseases (for example, sarcopenia, osteoporosis) are resulted from the dysregulated metabolism of the musculoskeletal system. Furthermore, metabolic diseases (such ...read more
Protein Folding, Aggregation and Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation
Protein folding, misfolding and aggregation remain one of the main problems of interdisciplinary science not only because many questions are still open, but also because they are important from the point of view of practical application. Protein aggregation and formation of fibrillar structures, for example, is a hallmark of a ...read more
