Plasmodium falciparum gametogenesis essential protein 1 (GEP1) is a transmission‐blocking target

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study shows Plasmodium falciparum GEP1 is vital for activating sexual stages of malarial parasites even independently of a mosquito factor. Knockout parasites completely fail gamete formation even when a phosphodiesterase inhibitor is added. Two single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (V241L and S263P) are found in 12%–20% of field samples.

Eliminating Variables in Boolean Equation Systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Systems of Boolean equations of low degree arise in a natural way when analyzing block ciphers. The cipher's round functions relate the secret key to auxiliary variables that are introduced by each successive round.

Biophysical analysis of angiotensin II and amyloid‐β cross‐interaction in aggregation and membrane disruption

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Angiotensin II (AngII), a neuropeptide, interacts with amyloid‐β (Aβ), a key player in Alzheimer's disease. This study reveals that AngII reduces Aβ aggregation and membrane disruption in vitro. Biophysical assays and molecular modeling suggest AngII binds disordered Aβ forms, potentially modulating early amyloidogenic events and contributing to ...

Homozygous variant of MLC1 results in megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts

open access: yesMolecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine
Background Megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts (MLC) is a rare, inherited disorder that causes epilepsy, intellectual disorders, and early onset macrocephaly. MLC1 has been identified as a main pathogenic gene.

A New Guess-and-Determine Attack on the A5/1 Stream Cipher [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
In Europe and North America, the most widely used stream cipher to ensure privacy and confidentiality of conversations in GSM mobile phones is the A5/1. In this paper, we present a new attack on the A5/1 stream cipher with an average time complexity of 2^

Quantum Noise Randomized Ciphers

open access: yes, 2006
We review the notion of a classical random cipher and its advantages. We sharpen the usual description of random ciphers to a particular mathematical characterization suggested by the salient feature responsible for their increased security.

Boolean functions with restricted input and their robustness; application to the FLIP cipher

open access: yesIACR Transactions on Symmetric Cryptology, 2017
We study the main cryptographic features of Boolean functions (balanced-ness, nonlinearity, algebraic immunity) when, for a given number n of variables, the input to these functions is restricted to some subset E of F n 2. We study in particular the case

4‐nitrobenzoate inhibits 4‐hydroxybenzoate polyprenyltransferase in malaria parasites and enhances atovaquone efficacy

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Atovaquone is an antimalarial requiring potentiation for sufficient efficacy. We pursued strategies to enhance its activity, showing that 4‐nitrobenzoate inhibits 4‐hydroxybenzoate polyprenyltransferase, decreasing ubiquinone biosynthesis. Since atovaquone competes with ubiquinol in mitochondria, 4‐nitrobenzoate facilitates its action, potentiating ...
