Integrative Modeling in the Age of Machine Learning: A Summary of HADDOCK Strategies in CAPRI Rounds 47–55

open access: yesProteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The HADDOCK team participated in CAPRI rounds 47–55 as server, manual predictor, and scorers. Throughout these CAPRI rounds, we used a plethora of computational strategies to predict the structure of protein complexes. Of the 10 targets comprising 24 interfaces, we achieved acceptable or better models for 3 targets in the human category and 1 ...

Recurrent diphtheria outbreaks in Nigeria: A review of the underlying factors and remedies

open access: yesImmunity, Inflammation and Disease, 2023
Introduction The introduction of the diphtheria−tetanus−pertussis (DTP) vaccine into childhood immunization programs resulted in its widespread elimination in high‐income countries. However, Nigeria is currently experiencing an outbreak.

Reassessing the Role of Type II Toxin-Antitoxin Systems in Formation of Escherichia coli Type II Persister Cells

open access: yesmBio, 2018
Persistence is a reversible and low-frequency phenomenon allowing a subpopulation of a clonal bacterial population to survive antibiotic treatments. Upon removal of the antibiotic, persister cells resume growth and give rise to viable progeny.

Biomolecular Interaction Prediction in the Pre‐ and Post‐AlphaFold Era: The 8th CAPRI Evaluation

open access: yesProteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We report on the 8th CAPRI Evaluation period, capturing the assessment of CAPRI Rounds 47 to 55 (excluding the CASP and COVID‐related Rounds), which have witnessed the transition to AI‐driven prediction tools such as AlphaFold and related alternatives. The prediction Rounds in this evaluation are characterized by a high level of difficulty due

Identification and characterisation of toxin-antitoxin systems (TA) in Burkholderia pseudomallei [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The aim of this study was to identify and characterise type II toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems in Burkholderia pseudomallei, the causative agent of the human disease melioidosis. 8 putative TA systems were identified within the genome of B. pseudomallei

The mazEF toxin-antitoxin system as a novel antibacterial target in Acinetobacter baumannii [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Although analysis of toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems can be instructive, to date, there is no information on the prevalence and identity of TA systems based on a large panel of Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates.

Structure Modeling Protocols for Protein Multimer and RNA in CASP16 With Enhanced MSAs, Model Ranking, and Deep Learning

open access: yesProteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We present the methods and results of our protein complex and RNA structure predictions at CASP16. Our approach integrated multiple state‐of‐the‐art deep learning models with a consensus‐based scoring method. To enhance the depth of multiple sequence alignments (MSAs), we employed a large metagenomic sequence database.

A Rabbit Model for the Evaluation of Drugs for Treating the Chronic Phase of Botulism

open access: yesToxins, 2021
Antitoxin, the only licensed drug therapy for botulism, neutralizes circulating botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT). However, antitoxin is no longer effective when a critical amount of BoNT has already entered its target nerve cells.

Cluster of Botulism among dutch tourists in Turkey, june 2008 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
In June 2008, three Dutch tourists participating in a mini-cruise in Turkey needed urgent repatriation for antitoxin treatment because of symptoms of botulism.
