A comparative analysis of graph neural networks and classical machine learning for carbapenem-resistance prediction and genomic interpretation in Acinetobacter baumannii

Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii is a hospital-associated pathogen linked to high mortality and limited treatment options. Although many resistance determinants have been identified, how they organize into coordinated systems remains unclear. Using a final binary modeling dataset of 2,448 g...

Diverse structural features and putative functional roles of early-stage Austropuccinia psidii effector proteins

Successive genome improvements reveal that while AP5292 and AP143 remain conserved, AP1260 and especially AP10948 have expanded into highly divergent multi-haplotype families, with AP10948 now comprising 25 tandemly duplicated variants.

State-selective inhibition of alpha-synuclein aggregation by de novo oligomer-binding proteins

Deep learning-based protein design is used to generate de novo binders capturing this region of α-synuclein in a β-strand conformation to establish a set of molecules that target distinct aggregation intermediates and mechanistically reshape αSyn assembly.

Computational design of a thermostable α-helical barrel protein with tunable active-site positioning

Over the last decades, transformative catalytic strategies have emerged, with biocatalysis currently exerting a substantial influence on the pharmaceutical and fine chemical sectors. Fast progress in the design of efficient enzymatic processes, however, suffers from the lack of readily available, stable, and customizab...

Tumor-responsive hyalo-chitosan nanoparticles for targeted delivery of andrographolide in CD44+ breast cancer cells.

Andrographolide (AG) has been reported for its anticancer activity. However, it is classified as a class IV in the biopharmaceutics classification system (BCS). Therefore, AG possesses low bioavailability due to its low solubility and permeability. In this study, hyaluronic acid-coated chitosan nanoparticles (Hyalo-CS-...

Conformational insights into the unfolding pathway of RNA recognition motif (RRM) domain of TAF15 associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

An extensive molecular dynamics simulations study to investigate the conformational dynamics and unfolding pathway of the TAF15-RRM domain in 8 M urea revealed that unfolding proceeds through stable, denaturant/temperature-accelerated partially unfolded intermediate ensembles that, by analogy with aggregation-prone int...

Decoupling viscosity induced fluorescence from HSA-induced absorption modulation in a chromyl-naphthyl molecular rotor.

Molecular rotors are valuable probes for studying local microenvironments because their optical behavior is closely linked to conformational dynamics. In this study, a chromyl-naphthyl (HCNP) donor-π-acceptor molecular rotor was developed for viscosity-responsive fluorescence and selective interaction with human serum...

SPINET: Sheaf Protein Inverse Folding Network

SPINET is introduced, which predicts sequences from molecular dynamics trajectories that uses cellular sheaves to represent residue interactions within each frame and recurrent units to integrate information across frames, then predicts all amino acids in a single pass.

LNA-Modified DNAzyme Nanomachines Enable Physiological-Temperature Recognition of Double-Stranded DNA

Sequence-specific detection of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) under physiological conditions remains challenging because the complementary strand is inaccessible to conventional oligonucleotide probes, often requiring thermal denaturation or protein-assisted strand separation. Here, we developed a binary DNAzyme (BiDz)...

Non-target-site resistance mechanisms to glyphosate in Eleusine indica from Xinjiang cotton fields

Glyphosate resistance in weeds is often mediated by target-site changes in 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS), but non-target-site resistance (NTSR) mechanisms are increasingly recognized as important contributors to field-evolved resistance. Here, we characterized a glyphosate-resistant Eleusine in...

A clinically applicable nomogram for predicting recurrent spontaneous abortion using coagulation and autoimmune markers

A combined biomarker model integrating coagulation and immune parameters provides moderate-to-good predictive performance for RSA, which may facilitate early risk stratification and individualized management, although external validation is required before routine implementation.

Magnetic graphene oxide improves the expression of some human cumulus cells biomarkers

Low concentrations of MGO enhanced human CC viability, reduced apoptosis, and boosted antioxidant defenses and proliferation-related pathways suggest MGO’s biomedical potential in cell survival and anti-apoptotic effects on reproductive medicine research.
