ATP synthase: evolution, energetics, and membrane interactions [PDF]

J Gen Physiol. 2020 Nov 2;152(11):e201912475, 2020
The synthesis of ATP, life's 'universal energy currency', is the most prevalent chemical reaction in biological systems, and is responsible for fueling nearly all cellular processes, from nerve impulse propagation to DNA synthesis. ATP synthases, the family of enzymes that carry out this endless task, are nearly as ubiquitous as the energy-laden ...

Virus-induced silencing of MYB and WD40 transcription factor genes affects the accumulation of anthocyanins in chilli pepper fruit

Biologia Plantarum, 2014
The MYB, MYC, and WD40 transcription factors (TFs) are known to regulate the expression of structural biosynthetic genes at different steps depending on the plant species. In this work, we used an agroinfiltration protocol with Tobacco rattle virus (TRV)

Machine Learning-based Analysis of Electronic Properties as Predictors of Anticholinesterase Activity in Chalcone Derivatives [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
In this study, we investigated the correlation between the electronic properties of anticholinesterase compounds and their biological activity. While the methodology of such correlation is well-established and has been effectively utilized in previous studies, we employed a more sophisticated approach: machine learning.
