Our main research works and achievements can be briefly summarized as follows:

We published Taiwan's first molecular docking paper in top-rank journal and developed it as iGEMDOCK (BMC Bioinformatics, selected as highly cited paper ), which is one of widely used docking tools in the world. iGEMDOCK has been downloaded more than 100,000 times and has won the National Innovation Award. Furthermore, aiming to solve the low accuracy of virtual drug screening, we have proposed homopharma (protein-ligand interface family) and SiMMap to greatly improve the accuracy, hit rate of drug discovery, and for investigating drug binding and inhibition mechanisms supported by experimental verification. These results have been published in Genome Biology and Nucleic Acids Research , and we have obtained a US patent.

In computational systems biology, we pioneered innovative theories and tools of protein-protein interaction family and protein module family, and published five papers in Nucleic Acids Research . Through interdisciplinary cooperation and experimental validation, we have successfully discovered biomarkers and identified disease subtypes for the diagnosis and treatment of several cancers (e.g., head and neck cancer and triple-negative breast cancer). Some of these results have been published in Nature Communications (2019) and Cancers (2020).

For cancer precision medicine, we established Cancer Membrane Protein-regulated Networks (CaMPNets) comprising of nearly 2,000 membrane proteins (MP) in 15 diverse cancers to explore their roles in cancers, and then applied CaMPNets to clinical prognostic biomarkers identification and drug development. The cell and animal results validated our models, discovered the target MP and its FDA drug in triple-negative breast cancer. These results were published in Nature Communications (2019) and we obtained two ROC patents (2021) and filed a U.S. patent application.

For COVID-19 drug repurposing, we have integrated pharmacophore-based models and site-moiety maps to uncover flexible active site conformations of SARS-CoV-2 3CL Proteases. Our model discovered Boceprevir (IC50=1.42 μM and EC50=49.89 μM) and Telaprevir (both HCV drugs) and Nelfinavir (HIV drug) as potential COVID-19 drugs ( ACS Nano , 2021). Furthermore, we have developed a NetPharma framework, combining homopharma and evolution-based systems biology, to discover a multi-target FDA drug (JMY206, better than Remdesivir) of COVID-19. JMY206 in infected hamster model (validation by Taiwan's only P4 laboratory, National Defense Medical Center) can prevent lung damage and inflammation by modulating neutrophil infiltration and innate/ adaptive immune responses. Based on these results, we prepared papers for publication, applied two U.S. provisional patent applications (ID: 63160507 and 63160518) and clinical applications.

Overview

Our research focused on computer-aided drug design (GEMDOCK and SiMMap), structural bioinformatics (3D-BLAST, (PS)2 and fastSCOP), and systems biology (PPISearch and 3D-partner), especially investigating the molecular interfaces (e.g., protein-protein, protein-DNA, protein-ligand interactions). Our main contributions and innovations are described as follows: I) Discover the protein-compound interaction family for multi-target drug design and new uses for old drug [ 1-4 ]. II) The first team proposed protein-protein interactions (interface family) across multiple species [ 5-8 ]. III) We have developed the first tool, called 3D-BLAST which is as fast as BLAST and has the features of BLAST (e.g. robust statistical basis, and effective and reliable search capabilities), to search large protein structures (> 30000) within 3 seconds in the world [ 9-11 ].

Drug discovery: Pharmalogs and Homopharma

For structure-based protein-ligand interactions and drug discovery, we have developed a molecular docking tool, namely GEMDOCK [ 3 , 4 , 13 , 14 ], which is one of wide-used tools in the world. We cooperated with 10 research teams on diverse drug targets. We cooperated with over 10 laboratories which successfully applied our tools for identifying lead compounds and protein functional sites and protein engineering. For example, GEMDOCK has been successfully applied to identify the lead compounds for dengue virus envelop protein (cooperating with Yang YL in NCTU)[ 2 ]; inhibitors of influenza virus neuraminidase (cooperating with Hsu TA in NHRI) [ 15 ]; lead compounds of ROCK kinase (cooperating with Chao JI in NCTU) for anti-cancer drugs; antibiotics of shikimate kinases of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Helicobacter pylori (cooperating with Wang WC in NTHU). We have successfully applied our tools for discovering the secondary vitamin D3 binding site of milk beta-lactoglobulin (cooperating with Mao JI in NCTU)[ 16 , 17 ]; the binding mechanism between c-di-GMP ad cAMP Receptor-Like Protein CLP (cooperating with Chao SH in NCHU) [ 18 ]. The timed citations of two related papers [ 3 , 13 ] are 58 and 61, respectively, from 2004. These related papers were cited over 180 times. We got the 2007 National Innovation Award due to the achievement of iGEMDOCK.
在藥物開發部份，本實驗室透過獨立研發的全台第一個藥物嵌合軟體 GEMDOCK(榮獲 2007 國家新創獎)與超過 400 個 CPU 的計算資源，可快速的針對特定藥物標靶於虛擬藥物資料庫中(超過 30 萬筆小分子化合物)進行篩選，並利用全球首創的區域官能基地圖技術分析標靶蛋白的藥物結合機制，進而篩選出新型抑制劑。有別於其他計算實驗室缺乏自主實驗驗證，我們已建構由全波長式多功能微量分析儀暨冷螢光數位影像分析系統為主的高效藥篩平台，可對篩選出的抑制劑進行活性分析，並可針對常見癌症(肝癌、乳癌、頭頸癌)或發炎反應進行細胞實驗分析。此外，我們並與淡水馬偕醫院與三軍總醫院合作進行臨床試驗，是國內少數從計算跨足轉譯醫學的藥物設計與系統生物實驗室。在癌症與許多複雜疾病的主要藥物標靶-蛋白激酶上，我們透過上述程序，發現了特定受體酪氨酸激酶專屬的結合位點(Type-C pocket)，並成功針對此位點篩選出選擇性抑制劑(Type-C inhibitors)，而大規模蛋白激酶抑制活性分析結果亦顯示出高選擇性，並能克服傳統化療藥物所產生的常見抗藥性突變，順利突破此類年產值高達 185 億美金的藥物目前所面對的瓶頸--選擇性與抗藥性，為其選擇性與抗藥性設計開闢另一個方向。

Molecular interface families (protein-drug, protein-protein, and protein-DNA)

In protein-peptide interactions, we improved our PPI template-based scoring function with template similarity and interacting force to guarantee statistically significant interface similarity between peptide candidates and structure templates. Our model, considering both MHC-peptide and peptide-TCR interfaces, could provide visualization and biological insights of MHC-peptide-TCR binding models. We believe that it is very helpful for the development of peptide-based vaccines. For protein-DNA interactions, we developed a new approach, namely 3D-regulogs, to infer protein-DNA binding partners by using the concept of regulog and crystal structures of protein-DNA complex as templates [ 12 ]. This approach also provides binding models, interacting amino acids, and DNA bases of predicted partners. For protein-ligand interactions, we have introduced site-moiety maps [ 1 ], which recognize interaction preferences between protein pockets and compound moieties. SiMMap was developed to identify site-moiety maps from query protein structures and their docked (or co-crystallized) compounds. Over 1,400 users have created more than 1,500 site-moiety maps for different proteins. Site-moiety map is able to provide biological insights and useful for drug discovery and lead optimization.

Homologous structural systems biology

For systems biology and structural bioinformatics, we have proposed a novel concept, called "3D-domain interologs", to discover protein-protein interactions[ 6-8 ] and protein-DNA interactions [ 12 ] which are considered as orthologous interactions among different species, in particular about inferred interacting domain pairs and binding models (e.g. hydrogen-bond interactions and conserved residues). For protein-protein interactions, we proposed the PPISearch server [ 5 ] for searching homologous protein-protein interactions (PPIs), called PPI family, across multiple species. According to our knowledge, PPISearch is the first public server that identifies homologous PPIs from annotated PPI databases and infers transferability of interacting domains and functions between homologous PPIs and the query. By taking account of structural bioinformatics cross species, we extended PPISearch to PCFamily [ 8 ], which is useful for binding model visualizations and annotating query proteins based on homologous protein complexes. Until September 2010, over 3,500 users have used PPISearch and PCFamily servers. Furthermore, the number of accessing 3D-BLAST exceeds 6,000 from 44 countries and related papers were cited ~50 times since 2007.

藥物傳輸老藥新用：尼古丁乙醯膽鹼受體α9在尼古丁誘導之癌症中的調控機制

本團隊與台北醫學大學乳癌研究團隊(何元順教授團隊及雙和醫院院長吳志雄教授等)合作，探討尼古丁（Nicotine）誘導多種疾病（如肺癌、頭頸癌、乳癌、畸形兒等）發生之轉譯醫學研究，尼古丁乙醯膽鹼受體α9（α9-nAChR）被認為參與由尼古丁所誘發的人類正常乳腺上皮細胞的轉型，由於目前所有的PPI資料庫都缺乏α9-nAChR的交互作用蛋白質，我們透過同源映射網路及蛋白質-化合物交互作用家族概念，發現5個新的α9-nAChR之交互作用蛋白質(X1、X2、X3、X4和X5)及其相關生化途徑。透過免疫共沉澱及螢光共振能量轉移影像（Förster resonance energy transfer），發現α9-nAChR正常情況下會與生長因子受體（如X1、X2）結合，降低其活性；當尼古丁結合α9-nAChR會使其與生長因子受體分離，因而活化下游生化途徑抑制細胞凋亡及促進細胞增生。目前已將此發現透過臨床檢體進行驗證，成功發現尼古丁誘發乳癌之機制，相關成果發表撰寫中。

天然藥新藥開發

中草藥在中華民族的生活與歷史上扮演重要角色，然而隨著西風東漸，國人因為中草藥的傳統理論基礎缺乏現今科學化的解釋而漸趨勢微，這無論對已有數千年臨床驗證的中草藥或是對人類的健康都是一大損失，所以將中草藥的療效賦予科學化的解釋是相當重要且刻不容緩的。本實驗室透過系統生物的策略，建構出跨物種的同源交互作用網絡，並成功解釋疾病的致病機制。並透過在藥物設計領域的積累，提出全球首創的同源藥理概念，可利用蛋白與藥物的共結晶結構預測出其他具有類似結合機制的標靶蛋白與藥物，有助於舊藥新用與副作用預測。而本實驗室進一步將系統生物與藥物設計結合，可透過將中草藥或整株植物的成分以同源藥理概念找出潛在作用蛋白，並標註於同源交互作用網絡，如此將可以作用標靶、作用途徑、影響疾病等科學化方式闡述中草藥的療效，目前並已成功應用於痲瘋樹、紅麴與牛樟芝的治療與保健功效預測上。

腦及神經老化藥物開發

人類對於大腦運作所負責的腦區已有了解但對於詳細運作機制仍然尚未釐清，因此對於大腦研究進而衍伸出幾個議題：1. 因應世界人口老齡化的趨勢因而衍生出老年神經退化性疾病，例如:阿茲海默症，根據統計在 2010 年全球有將近 2100 萬到 3500 萬名阿茲海默症患者，而歸因於阿茲海默症相關的死亡案例大約有 48.6 萬例。阿茲海默症會使患者越來越需要他人的照護，因此導致在已開發國家中阿茲海默症是相當耗費社會資源的疾病之一。世界衛生組織指出目前並沒有特定藥物有實證證明對阿茲海默症治療有效，只有少數可能可以暫時(緩解)改善症狀的方法，而健康食品及植物藥被視為是另類可能的有效途徑；2. 由於許多大腦疾病已知與性別有關，例如：男生易患自閉症、女生易患阿茲海默症，因此透過了解男女大腦先天上的差異對於釐清疾病病理機制具有莫大幫助，本團隊透過表徵型資料：腦電波圖譜(EEG)、大腦核磁共振(MRI)、動物模式，以及基因型資料：基因表達圖譜(mRNA microarray)、次世代定序(NGS)、蛋白質體圖譜(Proteomics)，整合本團隊核心技術蛋白質交互作用家族(PPI family)、模組交互作用家族(Module family)、蛋白質-配體交互作用家族(Protein-ligand family)，進而揭露大腦疾病詳細生化機制。 We have accumulated extensive experiences in drug design to achieve the specific aims. Our team consists of experts in different fields, including computational drug design, systems biology, clinical trial, lead optimization, biochemistry, and animal models. We have successfully discovered 45 lead compounds (<10 μM) for various diseases or pathogens. One of the identified natural compounds, rosmarinic acid, is currently applying for the U.S. patent and IRB approval at Mackay Memorial Hospital (馬偕醫院) for clinical trials. Based on these results, we have received one U.S. patent (US 8,175,860 B2), and have applied one U.S. patent (13/872,456) and one ROC patent. In university-industry collaborations, we have collaborated with ScinoPharm (台灣神隆), Phalanx Biotech Group (華聯生技), Food Industry Research and Development Institute (食品工業研究所), and Jason Life Tech for developing new drugs, botanical drugs, healthy food, and microarray platform for detecting diseases. We have collaborated with over 30 laboratories (e.g., Professor Wang HJ [王惠鈞院士] and Professor Mark von Itzstein, inventor of the first anti-influenza drug, Zanamivir), five teaching hospitals, and 15 national institutes for drug discovery, systems biology, binding mechanisms, and multi-target drugs. In addition, we have achieved some significant results in molecular interactions and structural systems biology: 1) We are the first team proposed molecular-interface families; 2) We have established the statistical biophysics methods to infer site-moiety maps (hotspots) of proteins for protein-ligand binding mechanisms and drug discovery; 3) We have proposed the comprehensive molecular interaction networks for studying interactomes; 4) We have developed GEMDOCK, which is a world-wide used docking programs.
