Machine learning for the prediction of safe and biologically active organophosphorus molecules [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Drug discovery is a complex process with a large molecular space to be considered. By constraining the search space, the fragment-based drug design is an approach that can effectively sample the chemical space of interest. Here we propose a framework of Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) with an attention model to sample the chemical space of ...

History of biological warfare and bioterrorism [PDF]
Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2014 Bioterrorism literally means using microorganisms or infected samples to cause terror and panic in populations. Bioterrorism had already started 14 centuries before Christ, when the Hittites sent infected rams to their enemies. However, apart from some rare well-documented events, it is often very difficult for historians and microbiologists to ...

Identification of a membrane-bound prepore species clarifies the lytic mechanism of actinoporins [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, American Society for Biochemistry
and Molecular Biology, 2016, 2016 Pore-forming toxins (PFT) are cytolytic proteins belonging to the molecular warfare apparatus of living organisms. The assembly of the functional transmembrane pore requires several intermediate steps ranging from a water-soluble monomeric species to the multimeric ensemble inserted in the cell membrane.

A Genetic Algorithm approach to Asymmetrical Blotto Games with Heterogeneous Valuations [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Blotto Games are a popular model of multi-dimensional strategic resource allocation. Two players allocate resources in different battlefields in an auction setting. While competition with equal budgets is well understood, little is known about strategic behavior under asymmetry of resources. We introduce a genetic algorithm, a search heuristic inspired

Chemical warfare and survival strategies in bacterial range expansions [PDF]
J. R. Soc. Interface 11, 20140172 (2014), 2014 Dispersal of species is a fundamental ecological process in the evolution and maintenance of biodiversity. Limited control over ecological parameters has hindered progress in understanding of what enables species to colonise new area, as well as the importance of inter-species interactions.
