Article Abstract

Design and synthesis of functionally active artificial proteins is challenging, as it requires simultaneous consideration of interconnected factors, such as fold, dynamics, and function. These evolutionary constraints are encoded in protein sequences and can be learned through the latent generative landscape (LGL) framework to predict functional sequences by leveraging evolutionary patterns, enabling exploration of uncharted sequence space. By simulating designed proteins through molecular dynamics (MD), we gain deeper insights into the interdependencies governing structure and dynamics. We present a synergized workflow combining LGL with MD and biochemical characterization, allowing us to explore the sequence space effectively. This approach has been applied to design and characterize two artificial multidomain ATP-driven transmembrane copper transporters, with native-like functionality. This integrative approach proved effective in revealing the intricate relationships between sequence, structure, and function.

Parasagittal dural space and arachnoid granulations morphology in pre-clinical and early clinical multiple sclerosis.

Mult Scler

September 2025

Neuroimaging Unit, Neuroimmunology Division, Department of Neurology, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN, USA; Department of Neurology, VA Medical Center, TN Valley Healthcare System, Nashville, TN, USA.

Background: There is limited knowledge on the post-glymphatic structures such as the parasagittal dural (PSD) space and the arachnoid granulations (AGs) in multiple sclerosis (MS).

Objectives: To evaluate differences in volume and macromolecular content of PSD and AG between people with newly diagnosed MS (pwMS), clinically isolated syndrome (pwCIS), or radiologically isolated syndrome (pwRIS) and healthy controls (HCs) and their associations with clinical and radiological disease measures.

Methods: A total of 69 pwMS, pwCIS, pwRIS, and HCs underwent a 3.

Deep learning has rapidly emerged as a promising toolkit for protein optimization, yet its success remains limited, particularly in the realm of activity. Moreover, most algorithms lack rigorous iterative evaluation, a crucial aspect of protein engineering exemplified by classical directed evolution. This study introduces DeepDE, a robust iterative deep learning-guided algorithm leveraging triple mutants as building blocks and a compact library of ∼1,000 mutants for training.

Introduction: External continuous perturbations using a motion platform have been developed by employing either sum-of-sines (SoS) or a pseudorandom ternary sequence (PRTS) of numbers to quantify body sway evoked in the medial-lateral (ML) or anterior-posterior (AP) directions, which ultimately helps understand the human postural control system. These stimuli have been provided via pitch tilts of the motion platform for evaluations of AP balance responses or roll tilts for ML balance responses. However, little is known about whether a healthy postural control system responds to 2-dimensional (2D) perturbations similarly when the perturbation stimuli are provided in semicircular canal coordinates (i.

High-Pressure X‑ray Diffraction Study of Scheelite-Type Perrhenates.

J Phys Chem C Nanomater Interfaces

September 2025

Departamento de Física Aplicada - Instituto de Ciencia de Materiales, Matter at High Pressure (MALTA) Consolider Team, Universidad de Valencia, Edificio de Investigación, C/Dr Moliner 50, 46100 Burjassot, Valencia Spain.

The effects of pressure on the crystal structure of scheelite-type perrhenates were studied using synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction and density-functional theory. At ambient conditions, the studied materials AgReO, KReO, and RbReO, exhibit a tetragonal scheelite-type crystal structure described by space group 4/. Under compression, a transition from scheelite-to-M'-fergusonite (space group 2/) was observed at 1.

Pretraining plays a pivotal role in acquiring generalized knowledge from large-scale data, achieving remarkable successes as evidenced by large models in CV and NLP. However, progress in the graph domain remains limited due to fundamental challenges represented by feature heterogeneity and structural heterogeneity. Recent efforts have been made to address feature heterogeneity via Large Language Models (LLMs) on text-attributed graphs (TAGs) by generating fixed-length text representations as node features.
