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. …”

Region-based shape control for multi-robot systems by Hou, Paul Saing.

“…While many methods have been proposed, the positions of the robots or relative positions between robots in the formation must be defined in order for the robots to form a specific shape. Therefore, as the number of robots increases, it becomes more difficult to specify the positions for all the robots. …”

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. …”
