We have developed a new method, i.e., XLOGP3, for logP computation. XLOGP3 predicts the value of query compound by using known reference as starting point. The difference in values and is then estimated an additive model. model implemented uses total 87 atom/group types two correction factors descriptors. It calibrated on training set 8199 organic compounds with reliable data through multivariate linear regression analysis. For given compound, showing highest structural similarity will be...

Summary Plants modify their development to adapt environment, protecting themselves from detrimental conditions such as chilling stress by triggering a variety of signaling pathways; however, little is known about how plants coordinate developmental patterns and responses at the molecular level. Here, we demonstrate that interacting transcription factors Os MADS 57 TB 1 directly target defense gene WRKY 94 organogenesis D14 trade off functions controlling/moderating rice tolerance cold....

For theoreticians, ionic liquids represent a major challenge. This is due to the fact that intermolecular interactions are particularly strong because of liquids' ionicity. This, in turn, causes subtle interplay between different scales which encoded measured macro- and mesoscopic properties also molecular electrostatic characteristics. Therefore, force fields have describe microscopic processes correctly order reproduce macroscopic accurately over large range state variables. Herein,...

Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) plays a significant role in DNA repair responses; therefore, this enzyme is targeted by PARP inhibitors cancer therapy. Here we have developed number of fused tetra- or pentacyclic dihydrodiazepinoindolone derivatives with excellent enzymatic and cellular PARylation inhibition activities. These efforts led to the identification pamiparib (BGB-290, 139), which displays PARP-1 PARP-2 IC50 1.3 0.9 nM, respectively. In assay, compound inhibits activity = 0.2...

Accurate prediction of protein–ligand binding free energies is important in enzyme engineering and drug discovery. The molecular mechanics/generalized Born surface area (MM/GBSA) approach widely used to estimate ligand-binding affinities, but its performance heavily relies on the accuracy energy components. A hybrid strategy combining MM/GBSA machine learning (ML) has been developed predict systems. Based terms several features associated with interactions, our ML-based scoring function,...

Abstract Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) possesses a poor prognosis and treatment outcome. Dysregulated metabolism contributes to unrestricted growth of multiple cancers. However, abnormal metabolism, such as highly activated pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) in the progression ESCC remains largely unknown. Herein, we report that high-mobility group AT-hook 1 (HMGA1), structural transcriptional factor involved chromatin remodeling, promoted development by upregulating PPP. We found...

Abstract Gamma-carboxylation, catalyzed by γ-glutamyl carboxylase (GGCX), is a critical post-translational modification essential for the biological activity of vitamin K-dependent proteins (VKDPs). Mutations in GGCX, depending on their specific location, result coagulation factor deficiency type 1 (VKCFD1), which encompasses broad spectrum clinical manifestations ranging from mild to severe, including bleeding disorders, osteoporosis, and vascular calcification. The limited knowledge GGCX’s...

The mutation of K-RAS represents one the most frequent genetic alterations in cancer. Targeting downstream effectors RAS, including MEK and ERK, has limited clinical success cancer patients with mutations. reduced sensitivity K-RAS-mutated cells to certain inhibitors (MEKi) is associated feedback phosphorylation by C-RAF reactivation mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling. Here, we report that RAF dimer lifirafenib (BGB-283) compound C show a strong synergistic effect MEKi,...
