The Shewanella oneidensis Fic enzyme SoFic targets the switch‐I region of EF‐Tu for AMPylation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fic enzymes mediate diverse post‐translational modifications across all domains of life, including AMPylation. Prokaryotic EF‐Tu can be AMPylated and deAMPylated by the conserved Fic enzyme SoFic. Structural and biochemical approaches were used to characterize the effect of AMPylation on EF‐Tu, SoFic's enzymatic activities, and the enzyme‐target ...

Emergency Relief Material Distribution Path Optimization Under Multiple Constraints

open access: yesApplied Sciences
To overcome the limitations of traditional methods in emergency response scenarios—such as limited adaptability during the search process and a tendency to fall into local optima, which reduce the overall efficiency of emergency supply distribution—this ...

A Heuristic Approach for a Real-World Electric Vehicle Routing Problem

open access: yesAlgorithms, 2019
To develop a non-polluting and sustainable city, urban administrators encourage logistics companies to use electric vehicles instead of conventional (i.e., fuel-based) vehicles for transportation services.

A context‐dependent modulatory role for eIF6 in acquired resistance to vemurafenib in melanoma

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Acquired resistance to vemurafenib upregulates the translation factor eIF6 in melanoma cells. Silencing eIF6 in resistant cells reduces proliferation and partially restores drug sensitivity, whereas its overexpression increases sensitivity across melanoma lines regardless of BRAF status, via modulation of mTOR, S6K, and MAPK signaling.

An Adaptive Sand Cat Swarm Algorithm Based on Cauchy Mutation and Optimal Neighborhood Disturbance Strategy

open access: yesBiomimetics, 2023
Sand cat swarm optimization algorithm (SCSO) keeps a potent and straightforward meta-heuristic algorithm derived from the distant sense of hearing of sand cats, which shows excellent performance in some large-scale optimization problems.

DNA ligase LigE increases bacterial transformation with damaged extracellular DNA

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The DNA ligase LigE from the naturally competent Gram‐negative bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoaea increases transformation with cut extracellular DNA. This process is ATP‐dependent and relies on the catalytic activity of LigE; it also requires that LigE contains an intact periplasmic localisation sequence, indicating that ligE functions in the periplasm ...

Split-merge:using exponential neighborhood search for scheduling a batching machine [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We address the problem of scheduling a single batching machine to minimize the maximum lateness with a constraint restricting the batch size. A solution for this NP-hard problem is defined by a selection of jobs for each batch and an ordering of those ...

Very Large-Scale Neighborhood Search

open access: yes, 2021
Very Large-Scale Neighborhood Search is not an algorithm or a class of algorithms, but rather a conceptual framework which can be used for solving combinatorial optimization problems. The approach “concentrates on neighborhood search algorithms where the
