Physiological Correlates of Emotion Recognition11:55

Physiological Correlates of Emotion Recognition

17.1K
Source: Laboratories of Jonas T. Kaplan and Sarah I. Gimbel—University of Southern California
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) controls the activity of the body's internal organs and regulates changes in their activity depending on the current environment. The vagus nerve, which innervates many of the internal organs, is an important part of the system. When our brain senses danger, vagal tone is inhibited, leading to a set of changes in the body designed to make us more prepared to...

Electronic Tongue Generating Continuous Recognition Patterns for Protein Analysis

8.2K
A novel approach is described for construction of electronic tongue (eT), which greatly simplifies the design and production of sensing materials, and allows the eT to generate continuous evolution profiles and landscapes for samples in liquid. The obtained eT is efficient for common protein analysis such as discrimination.

Correlations

35.8K
Correlation means that there is a relationship between two or more variables (such as ice cream consumption and crime), but this relationship does not necessarily imply cause and effect. When two variables are correlated, it simply means that as one variable changes, so does the other. We can measure correlation by calculating a statistic known as a correlation coefficient. A correlation coefficient is a number from -1 to +1 that indicates the strength and direction of the relationship between...

Protein Folding01:25

Protein Folding

11.2K
Proteins are chains of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. Upon synthesis, a protein folds into a three-dimensional conformation, critical to its biological function. Interactions between its constituent amino acids guide protein folding, and hence the protein structure is primarily dependent on its amino acid sequence.
Protein Structure Is Critical to Its Biological Function
Proteins perform a wide range of biological functions such as catalyzing chemical reactions, providing...

Correlation and Causation01:27

Correlation and Causation

41.9K
Statistical tests can calculate whether there is a relationship, or correlation, between independent and dependent variables. An indirect relationship of the variables signifies a correlation, while a direct relationship shows causation. If it is determined that no connection exists between the variables, then the correlation is a coincidence.
Correlation versus Causation
If the dependent variable increases or decreases when the independent variable increases, there is a positive or negative...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Direct information (DI) helps rank correct protein folds from many models. While DI improves native fold ranking, some incorrect folds remain competitive due to subtle structural shifts.

Area of Science:

  • Computational biology
  • Structural bioinformatics
  • Protein structure prediction

Background:

  • Predicting protein three-dimensional structures is crucial for understanding biological function.
  • Correlated mutation analysis is a powerful tool for inferring residue-residue contacts.
  • Direct information (DI) quantifies evolutionary correlations between mutations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of Direct Information (DI) in ranking native protein folds among a large set of decoys.
  • To assess the ability of DI-derived contact predictions to improve protein structure prediction accuracy.

Main Methods:

  • Application of the Direct Information (DI) method to extract correlated mutation data.
  • Analysis of a large dataset of decoy protein folds, including thousands of models.
  • Ranking of protein folds based on DI-predicted contact information.

Main Results:

  • DI significantly improved the ranking of the true (native) protein fold.
  • Several incorrect folds remained highly ranked, posing challenges for discrimination.
  • Small shifts in core beta sheets of incorrect folds contributed to their high scores.

Conclusions:

  • Direct Information is a valuable method for enhancing protein structure prediction by improving native fold ranking.
  • Further refinement of DI-based methods may be needed to overcome challenges posed by structurally similar decoys.
