Protein-ligand blind docking is a powerful method for exploring the binding sites of receptors and corresponding poses ligands. It has seen wide applications in pharmaceutical biological researches. Previously, we proposed server, CB-Dock, which been under heavy use (over 200 submissions per day) by researchers worldwide since 2019. Here, substantially improved combining CB-Dock with our template-based engine to enhance accuracy site identification pose prediction. In benchmark tests, it...

Abstract Protein–ligand docking is an essential method in computer-aided drug design and structural bioinformatics. It can be used to identify active compounds reveal molecular mechanisms of biological processes. A successful usually requires thorough conformation sampling scoring, which are computationally expensive difficult. Recent studies demonstrated that it beneficial with the guidance existing similar co-crystal structures. In this work, we developed a protein–ligand method, named...

Motivation: Hydrophobic effect plays a pivotal role in most protein–ligand binding. State-of-the-art scoring methods usually treat hydrophobic free energy as surface tension, which is proportional to interfacial area for simplicity and efficiency. However, this treatment ignores the of molecular shape, has been found very important by either experimental or theoretical studies. Results: We propose new empirical function, named Cyscore. Cyscore improves prediction accuracy using novel...

Abstract Purple coneflower ( Echinacea purpurea (L.) Moench) is a popular native North American herbal plant. Its major bioactive compound, chicoric acid, reported to have various potential physiological functions, but little known about its biosynthesis. Here, taking an activity-guided approach, we identify two cytosolic BAHD acyltransferases that form intermediates, caftaric acid and chlorogenic acid. Surprisingly, unique serine carboxypeptidase-like acyltransferase uses as acyl donor...

Abstract Li metal batteries have been widely expected to break the energy‐density limits of current Li‐ion batteries, showing impressive prospects for next‐generation electrochemical energy storage system. Although much progress has achieved in stabilizing anode, electrode still lacks efficiency and safety. Moreover, a practical battery requires thickness‐controllable maximally balance density stability. However, due stickiness fragile nature metal, manufacturing ingot into thin electrodes...

This study proposes a recognition model for different drying methods of grain using hyperspectral imaging technology (HSI) and multivariate analysis. Fresh harvested samples were dried three methods: rotating ventilation drying, mechanical natural drying. Hyperspectral images the collected within 388–1065 nm band range. The spectral features extracted principal component analysis (PCA), while texture second-order probability statistical filtering. Partial least squares regression (PLSR)...

Abstract Targeted protein degradation (TPD) has rapidly emerged as a therapeutic modality to eliminate previously undruggable proteins by repurposing the cell’s endogenous machinery. However, susceptibility of for targeting TPD approaches, termed “degradability”, is largely unknown. Here, we developed machine learning model, model-free analysis degradability (MAPD), predict from features intrinsic targets. MAPD shows accurate performance in predicting kinases that are degradable compounds...

Abstract Auxin can inhibit or promote fruit ripening, depending on the species. Melting flesh (MF) peach (Prunus persica L. Batsch) cultivars produce high levels of ethylene caused by concentrations indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), which leads to rapid softening at late stage development. In contrast, due low IAA, stony hard (SH) does not soften and produces little ethylene. seems necessary trigger biosynthesis in fruit; however, mechanism is well understood. this study, we identified miRNA gene...

Previous studies showed that salicylic acid (SA)-deficient transgenic Arabidopsis expressing the salicylate hydroxylase gene NahG had a higher tolerance to moderate salt stress. SA may potentiate stress response of germination and growth seedlings by inducing reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, detailed mechanism for better adaption plants is largely unknown. In present study we found GSH/GSSG (glutathione/oxidized glutathione) ratio ASA/DHA (ascorbic acid/dehydroascorbate) in during be...
