Incorporating Target Protein Structure Flexibility and Dynamics in Computational Drug Discovery Using Ensemble-Based Docking Analysis

Computational methods hold promises for expediting drug discovery, yet they frequently overlook the dynamic nature of protein structures. Here, we discuss ensemble-based docking analysis to indirectly incorporate protein flexibility, potentially improving the accuracy and reliability of drug discovery...

Protein Networks

Protein Networks

An organism can have thousands of different proteins, and these proteins must cooperate to ensure the health of an organism. Proteins bind to other proteins and form complexes to carry out their functions. Many proteins interact with multiple other proteins creating a complex network of protein interactions.
These interactions can be represented through maps depicting protein-protein interaction networks, represented as nodes and edges. Nodes are circles that are representative of a protein,...

Using High Resolution Computed Tomography to Visualize the Three Dimensional Structure and Function of Plant Vasculature

High resolution x-ray computed tomography (HRCT) is a non-destructive diagnostic imaging technique that can be used to study the structure and function of plant vasculature in 3D. We demonstrate how HRCT facilitates exploration of xylem networks across a wide range of plant tissues and...

Veins as Blood Reservoirs

Veins as Blood Reservoirs

Veins, while chiefly responsible for circulating blood back to the heart, also function as storage vessels for blood. They house approximately 64 percent of the body's total blood volume, a feat made possible by their high capacitance—the inherent ability to expand and accommodate large volumes of blood, even under low pressure. The large diameter and thin walls of veins augment their distensibility, significantly more so than arteries, due to their classification as capacitance...

Background:

Reservoir computers are nonlinear dynamical systems applied to tasks like signal prediction and robotic control.
They typically involve a large network of interconnected nonlinear nodes driven by input signals.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the effect of altering network structure on reservoir computer performance.
To characterize reservoir networks by edge manipulation and symmetry analysis.

Main Methods:

Constructing reservoir networks with +1 or 0 edges and modifying them by flipping edges to -1.
Using the fraction of flipped edges and network symmetries to characterize structural changes.
Analyzing the rank of the covariance matrix of node time series.

Main Results:

Flipping edges in the reservoir network alters its structure.
The number of flipped edges influences the rank of the covariance matrix of node time series.
