Scalable Production of Highly-Sensitive Nanosensors Based on Graphene Functionalized with a Designed G Protein-Coupled Receptor [PDF]
We have developed a novel, all-electronic biosensor for opioids that consists of an engineered mu opioid receptor protein, with high binding affinity for opioids, chemically bonded to a graphene field-effect transistor to read out ligand binding. A variant of the receptor protein that provided chemical recognition was computationally redesigned to ...

The accessory renal arteries: A systematic review with meta‐analysis
Abstract The accessory renal arteries (ARAs) are a well‐described variant of the renal vasculature with clinical implications for radiologists, surgeons, and clinicians. The aim of the present systematic review with meta‐analysis was to estimate the pooled prevalence of ARAs, including their variant number, origin, and termination, and to highlight ...

Mutations strengthened SARS-CoV-2 infectivity [PDF]
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infectivity is a major concern in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) prevention and economic reopening. However, rigorous determination of SARS-COV-2 infectivity is essentially impossible owing to its continuous evolution with over 13752 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) variants in six ...

Serotonergic modulators in Alzheimer's disease: a hope in the hopeless condition
Alzheimer disease (AD) is the main cause of dementia worldwide. AD is a progressive brain neurodegenerative disease due to genetic and environmental factors that induce a progressive accumulation of intracellular hyperphosphorylated tau protein and extracellular amyloid protein (Aβ).

Computational Study of Molecular Mechanisms of Caffeine Actions [PDF]
Caffeine (CAF) is one of the most widely and regularly consumed biologically active substances. We use computer simulation approach to the study of CAF activity by searching for its possible complexes with biopolymer fragments. The principal CAF target at physiologically important concentrations refers to adenosine receptors.

Modelling and docking of Indian SARS-CoV-2 spike protein 1 with ACE2: implications for co-morbidity and therapeutic intervention [PDF]
Presently, India bears amongst the highest burden of non-communicable diseases such as diabetes mellitus (DM), hypertension (HT), and cardio vascular disease (CVD) and thus represents a vulnerable target to the SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 pandemic. Involvement of the angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) in susceptibility to infection and pathogenesis by SARS-

Comparison of Fractional Flow Reserve and Myocardial Perfusion Imaging in Saphenous Vein Grafts
ABSTRACT Background Revascularization decision‐making for saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) relies on angiographic lesion severity estimation, as studies on fractional flow reserve (FFR) for detecting ischemia in SVGs are scarce. Aims To compare FFR and quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) of SVGs against myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) and to ...
