Structural characterization of vaccinia-related kinase 1 (VRK1), a histone mitotic kinase by Ngow, Yeen Shian

“…Currently, there are ~37 FDA-approved kinase inhibitors available, and most of them belong to this category, implying the importance of kinase inhibitor discovery and at the same time posing a challenge toward designing specific kinase inhibitors. Therefore, a three-dimensional portrait of VRK1 with its substrate will provide structural insights into developing specific inhibitors for VRK1 which lacks cross-reactivity with other kinases. …”

Strengthening the policy impact of multidimensional metrics given attention constraints: constructing linked metrics by Alkire, S, Vaz, A, Oldiges, C

“…This paper therefore recommends developing linked and synergistic measures for vulnerable groups that maximise common ground, while offering population-specific insights. We illustrate our general proposal by building an individual linked Child Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) that uses the already-identified deprivations of each child according to Nepal’s National MPI, and appends to this two age-specific indicators using parameters that cohere with the National MPI. …”

Simultaneous binding of hybrid molecules constructed with dual DNA-binding components to a G-quadruplex and its proximal duplex by Asamitsu, Sefan, Obata, Shunsuke, Phan, Anh Tuân, Hashiya, Kaori, Bando, Toshikazu, Sugiyama, Hiroshi

“…Although a number of researchers have endeavored to discover and develop quadruplex-interactive molecules, poor ligand designability originating from topological similarity of the skeleton of diverse quadruplexes has remained a bottleneck for gaining specificity for individual quadruplexes. This work reports on hybrid molecules that were constructed with dual DNA-binding components, a cyclic imidazole/lysine polyamide (cIKP), and a hairpin pyrrole/imidazole polyamide (hPIP), with the aim toward specific quadruplex targeting by reading out the local duplex DNA sequence adjacent to designated quadruplexes in the genome. …”
