Development and validation of a 3D similarity method for virtual screening [PDF]
A predictive 3D similarity workflow approach has been developed using a set of modular Java computer programs that implement algorithms that aim to capture the key components of a 3D similarity search and aim to incorporate methods that address both ...

Defining binding efficiency and specificity of auxins for SCFTIR1/AFB-Aux/IAA co-receptor complex formation [PDF]
Structure–activity profiles for the phytohormone auxin have been collected for over 70 years, and a number of synthetic auxins are used in agriculture. Auxin classification schemes and binding models followed from understanding auxin structures. However,

Quantitative and evolutionary global analysis of enzyme reaction mechanisms [PDF]
The most widely used classification system describing enzyme-catalysed reactions is the Enzyme Commission (EC) number. Understanding enzyme function is important for both fundamental scientific and pharmaceutical reasons.

Towards Drift Correction in Chemical Sensors Using an Evolutionary Strategy [PDF]
Gas chemical sensors are strongly affected by the so-called drift, i.e., changes in sensors' response caused by poisoning and aging that may significantly spoil the measures gathered.

Additional file 1: Figure S1. The percentage of control (POC) and binding constant values of the final hits. For every inhibitor proved in biochemical assay, its binding constant (Kd in nM) and percentage of control (the lowest percentage of control or kinase in solid support confirms the competition between test molecule and immobilized molecule for ...

Characterisation of Bombyx mori odorant-binding proteins reveals that a general odorant-binding protein discriminates between sex pheromone components [PDF]
In many insect species, odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are thought to be responsible for the transport of pheromones and other semiochemicals across the sensillum lymph to the olfactory receptors (ORs) within the antennal sensilla.

Effective retrieval and new indexing method for case based reasoning: Application in chemical process design [PDF]
In this paper we try to improve the retrieval step for case based reasoning for preliminary design. This improvement deals with three major parts of our CBR system.

Structural and functional studies of intrinsically disordered fibronectin-binding proteins [PDF]
Bacterial fibronectin-binding proteins (FnBPs) mediate adhesion of bacteria to host tissues through binding to the human protein fibronectin (Fn). FnBPs are predicted to contain a series of intrinsically disordered Fn-binding repeats (FnBRs), which ...

Biophysical approaches for studying viral entry
Viruses infect all living organisms and have been responsible for major epidemics and pandemics. Their ongoing evolutionary battle with host defenses creates a constant need for improved tools to study viral behavior. Advancing methods to probe viral attachment, fusion, and genome release deepen our understanding of how infections begin and support the
