A quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) study was performed on a set of amino-substituted nitrogen heterocyclic urea derivatives. Two novel approaches were applied: (1) the simplified molecular input-line entry systems (SMILES) based optimal descriptors approach; and (2) the fragment-based simplex representation of molecular structure ...

Aging Regulated Through a Stability Model of Insulin/Insulin Growth Factor Receptor Function
Mutations of the insulin-like receptor in Drosophila extend lifespan. New research suggests this receptor operates in two modes. The first extends lifespan while slowing reproduction and reducing growth.

Resolving the binding-kinase discrepancy in bacterial chemotaxis: A nonequilibrium allosteric model and the role of energy dissipation [PDF]
The Escherichia coli chemotaxis signaling pathway has served as a model system for studying the adaptive sensing of environmental signals by large protein complexes. The chemoreceptors control the kinase activity of CheA in response to the extracellular ligand concentration and adapt across a wide concentration range by undergoing methylation and ...

Apatinib treatment for KIT- and KDR-amplified angiosarcoma: a case report
Background Metastatic or relapsed angiosarcoma has a poor prognosis and the efficacy of conventional chemotherapy is often limited. Apatinib, a novel tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) targeting vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR2), has ...

Isolation of a Novel Anti-KDR3 Single-chain Variable Fragment Antibody from a Phage Display Library
Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR-2) is known as one of the important antigens playing a vital role in angiogenesis. In this study, phage display technology (PDT) was used to produce a single-chain variable fragment (scFv) antibody ...

2D interfacial diffusion model of inhibitory synaptic receptor dynamics [PDF]
The lateral diffusion and trapping of protein receptors within the postsynaptic membrane of a neuron plays a key role in determining the strength of synaptic connections and their regulation during learning and memory. In this paper we construct and analyze a 2D interfacial diffusion model of inhibitory synaptic receptor dynamics.
