The inhibition of sperm cAMP and ATP levels, using an FDA-approved medication, may impair sperm motility and, consequently, fertilization, thus paving the way for the development of a male contraceptive. The objective of this study was to define the ...
The active assembly of molecules by nanorobots has advanced greatly since “molecular manufacturing”—that is, the use of nanoscale tools to build molecular structures—was proposed. In contrast to a catalyst, which accelerates a reaction by smoothing t...
In this study, we developed a system that predicts the binding sites of proteins for five mononucleotides (AMP, ADP, ATP, GDP, and GTP). The system comprises two machine learning (ML)-based predictors using a convolutional neural network and a gradie...
BACKGROUND: The Vaccine Ontology (VO) is a biomedical ontology that standardizes vaccine annotation. Errors in VO will affect a multitude of applications that it is being used in. Quality assurance of VO is imperative to ensure that it provides accur...

BACKGROUND/AIMS: In kidney, extracellular [Ca] can modulate intracellular [Ca] to control key cellular processes. Hence, extracellular [Ca] is normally maintained within narrow range. We tested effect of extracellular ATP on viability of human proxim...
In 2019, the Atacama Rover Astrobiology Drilling Studies (ARADS) project field-tested an autonomous rover-mounted robotic drill prototype for a 6-Sol life detection mission to Mars (Icebreaker). ARADS drilled Mars-like materials in the Atacama Desert...
Spiking neural membrane systems (or spiking neural P systems, SNP systems) are a new type of computation model which have attracted the attention of plentiful scholars for parallelism, time encoding, interpretability and extensibility. The original S...

Accurate identification of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) binding sites is crucial for understanding cellular functions and advancing drug discovery, particularly in targeting kinases for cancer treatment. Existing methods face significant challenges d...
Adenosine triphosphate plays a vital role in providing energy and enabling key cellular processes through interactions with binding proteins. The increasing amount of protein sequence data necessitates computational methods for identifying binding si...
