The G protein-coupled receptor 40 (GPR40) is known to exert a significant influence on neurogenesis and neurodevelopment within the central nervous system of both humans and rodents. Research findings indicate that the activation of GPR40 by an agoni...
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations produce a substantial volume of high-dimensional data, and traditional methods for analyzing these data pose significant computational demands. Advances in MD simulation analysis combined with deep learning-based a...
Type II secretion System has been increasingly recognized as a key driver of virulence in many pathogenic bacteria including Achromobacter xylosoxidans. ATPase GspE is the powerhouse of the T2SS. It powers the entire secretion process by binding with...
Human dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (hDHODH) is a flavin mononucleotide-dependent enzyme that can limit de novo pyrimidine synthesis, making it a therapeutic target for diseases such as autoimmune disorders and cancer. In this study, using the docking...

Biomolecular simulations often suffer from the "time scale problem", hindering the study of rare events occurring over extended time scales. Enhanced sampling techniques aim to alleviate this issue by accelerating conformational transitions, yet they...
Aptamers are oligonucleotide sequences that can connect to particular target molecules, similar to monoclonal antibodies. They can be chosen by systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX), and are modifiable and can be synthesiz...
