High-Throughput Discovery of Inhibitory Protein Fragments with AlphaFold

High-Precision Prediction of Protein Fragment Inhibitory Activity: The Application of FragFold Academic Background Protein interactions play a crucial role in cellular life activities, and peptides or protein fragments can regulate protein functions by binding to specific protein interfaces, even acting as inhibitors. Recent developments in high-th...

Impact of Omega-3 Fatty Acids on Hypertriglyceridemia, Lipidomics, and Gut Microbiome in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes

Impact of Omega-3 Fatty Acids on Lipidomics and Gut Microbiome in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Background Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) is a common metabolic disorder worldwide, often accompanied by lipid abnormalities such as hypertriglyceridemia (HTG). Lipid abnormalities are significant risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD), especially high tri...

Zinc for GNAO1 Encephalopathy: Preclinical Profiling and a Clinical Case

GNAO1 (G protein alpha subunit O1) gene mutations are considered one of the primary causes of severe pediatric encephalopathy. This encephalopathy typically manifests as epilepsy, movement disorders, developmental delay, and intellectual disability, with limited effectiveness of current treatments. The GαO protein encoded by the GNAO1 gene is a key...

G-quadruplexes Catalyze Protein Folding by Reshaping the Energetic Landscape

G-Quadruplexes Catalyze Protein Folding: A Research Report Academic Background Protein folding is a complex and unsolved problem in biology. Many proteins fold very slowly in vitro, far exceeding the time ranges acceptable under physiological conditions. To address this challenge, ATP (adenosine triphosphate)-dependent chaperonins are thought to ac...

Identifying New Classes of Financial Price Jumps with Wavelets

Research Report on Identifying New Classes of Financial Price Jumps Using Wavelets Academic Background Price jumps in financial markets refer to significant price fluctuations occurring within an extremely short period, typically caused by exogenous factors (such as sudden news) or endogenous factors (internal market feedback mechanisms). Distingui...
