Protein folding as a configurational reconstruction: Bio-epistemic application of the General Epistemic Dispersion Theory to adult human hemoglobin

This repository includes a theoretical extension of the General Epistemic Dispersion Theory (GEDT) formalism to the domain of molecular biology, using adult human hemoglobin (HbA) as a case study. The manuscript proposes a bio-epistemic mapping in which the acquisition of the three-dimensional configuration is analyzed...

Endoplasmic reticulum stress in autoimmune skin diseases: immune activation, cutaneous cell damage, and therapeutic advances

Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) arises when the protein-folding load, or perturbations in calcium and redox homeostasis, outpace the adaptive capacity of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The unfolded protein response (UPR) initially reduces secretory load and restores proteostasis. Persistent stress can redirect the...

Icosahedral Symmetry and Caspar–Klug Triangulation Numbers in Viral Capsids — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Icosahedral symmetry in viral capsids is a direct physical realization of the rotational group \( A_5 \) (order 60), constrained by quasi-equivalence (Caspar–Klug theory) to specific triangulation numbers \( T = h^2 + hk + k^2 \). | MATH: Caspar–Klug triangulation number \( T = h^2 + hk + k^2 \) (h,k non-negat...

CropStabDB: a protein stability resource and Engineering Atlas of orthologue-supported substitutions for 30 plant proteomes

Protein stability, the capacity to maintain a folded structure and function, matters as much for transporters and regulators as for enzymes, and heat erodes it. Wheat, rice, maize and soybean supply two-thirds of human caloric intake, and warming reduces yields. Rubisco activase variants selected for thermostability in...

Reframing decentralized diagnostics with a programmable multi-dimensional microfluidic system

Decentralized diagnostics are vital for infectious disease control, yet current point-of-care tools remain largely one-dimensional, failing to capture the multidimensional profiles required for precision management. Here, we show SID-WAVES (Smartphone-Integrated Diagnostics with Wax-encoded Amplified and Versatile Eval...

A lactate-fatty acid loop drives prostate cancer bone colonization by mediating metabolic interplay between tumor cells and osteoblasts

Bone metastases (BoM) develop in 60–90% of men with advanced prostate cancer (PCa) and are associated with a significantly decreased quality of life and 5-fold increased risk of mortality. However, current frontline treatments offer only marginal improvements in survival and symptom management. In this study, we invest...

A four-amino-acid deletion in gp41 enhances HIV-1 CRF01_AE Cluster 4 pathogenicity and fusion inhibitor resistance

ABSTRACT HIV-1 CRF01_AE Cluster 4 strains are spreading rapidly in China and Southeast Asia, yet the molecular characteristics and pathogenic mechanisms remain to be fully characterized. Here, we identified a characteristic RSSL tetrapeptide deletion in the gp41 region of CRF01_AE Cluster 4 strains. Compared with a Clu...

The Association Between Serum Inflammatory Markers and Pathogen Profile in Confirmed Fracture-related Infection.

OBJECTIVES To determine whether serum inflammatory markers, Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP), varied according to pathogen profile in patients with confirmed fracture-related infection (FRI). METHODS Design: Retrospective Cohort Study. SETTING Single, multi-site urban academic insti...

Probing protein structures in solution via concentration- and temperature-dependent small- and wide-angle x-ray scattering.

Temperature-dependent small- and wide-angle x-ray scattering is developed as a probe of biomolecular structure, dynamics, and interactions in the solution phase and applied to two well-characterized model proteins: the Villin headpiece subdomain and the GB3 domain to provide real-space fingerprints of the folds that pl...

TurboPairFormer: Fast and Stable Protein Folding Model Training with an Optimized Triangle Attention Kernel

Triangular attention is a core computation in AlphaFold3-style biomolecular models, with cubic cost in token count. Its shared pair bias adds a gradient reduction across attention slices to the usual reductions over queries and keys. The open-source backends we examine handle these reductions through repeated probabili...

D-DOIT: Training-free Adaptation of Discrete Diffusion via Doob's h-Transform

We propose D-DOIT (Discrete Doob-Oriented Inference-time Transformation), a training-free and efficient adaptation method for discrete diffusion models with generic rewards. D-DOIT formulates adaptation as sampling from a reward-tilted target distribution and realizes this transport through Doob's h-transform of the di...

PIT-GCL: Protein Interaction using Topological Graph Contrastive Learning

Protein binding prediction is central to target identification, therapeutic binder design, and large scale screening, yet remains challenging because binding depends on sequence, three dimensional geometry, and global structural organization. Recent folding models such as AlphaFold3 and Boltz-2 have substantially impro...
