The bacterial cell division protein FtsZ, a crucial GTPase, plays a vital role in the formation of the contractile Z-ring, which is essential for bacterial cytokinesis. Consequently, inhibiting FtsZ could prevent the formation of proto-filaments and ...

This research paper utilizes a fused-in-silico approach alongside bioactivity evaluation to identify active FtsZ inhibitors for drug discovery. Initially, ROC-guided machine learning was employed to obtain almost 13182 compounds from three libraries....
Cellular form and function emerge from complex mechanochemical systems within the cytoplasm. Currently, no systematic strategy exists to infer large-scale physical properties of a cell from its molecular components. This is an obstacle to understandi...
Motor proteins are the driving force behind muscle contraction and are responsible for the active transportation of most proteins and vesicles in the cytoplasm. There are three superfamilies of cytoskeletal motor proteins with various molecular funct...

Giardia lamblia is a worldwide zoonotic intestinal parasite that infects humans and a wide range of mammals including dogs and cats, causing giardiasis with diarrhea. To investigate the infection and distribution of G. lamblia genotypes from stray do...
Expression of immediate early genes (IEGs) is critical for memory formation and has been widely used to identify the neural substrate of memory traces, termed memory engram cells. Functions of IEGs have been known to be different depending on their t...
