AS‐pHopt: An Optimal pH Prediction Model Enhanced by Active Site of Enzymes

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
To address the low accuracy of enzyme optimal pH (pHopt) prediction, this study develops active site‐based pHopt (AS‐pHopt), a prediction model enhanced by active site information and pseudo‐label prediction. Integrating key structural and physicochemical features affecting enzyme pHopt, AS‐pHopt uses Evolutionary Scale Modeling (ESM)‐2 with active ...

Genetic‐Proteomic Integration Identifies Predictive Plasma Proteins for Multiple Sclerosis

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Multiple sclerosis (MS) develops after a prolonged preclinical phase. Identifying circulating biomarkers that capture this early biology can improve risk stratification and guide intervention. We aimed to identify plasma proteins driving MS susceptibility using large‐scale proteogenomic integration and to evaluate their prediagnostic ...
