PESI: paratope-epitope set interaction for SARS-CoV-2 neutralization prediction by Wan, Zhang, Lin, Zhuoyi, Rashid, Shamima, Ng, Shaun Yue Hao, Yin, Rui, Senthilnath, J., Kwoh, Chee Keong

“…Despite LLM's success, incorporating full-length Fv sequences suffers from: 1) inaccurate sequence-level labels in existing datasets, 2) inefficient modeling due to noisy non-contributing motifs, and 3) ignorance of non-bonded interactions that play a key role in facilitating epitope-paratope pairing. In this paper, we propose a novel approach that incorporates only the paratope and epitope for antibody-antigen neutralization prediction while adopting a novel set modeling that regards the paratope and epitope as bags of residues. …”

The development and application of mass-spectrometry-based tools to monitor proteome remodeling in microbes by Telusma, Bertina

“…In chapter 2, I describe the development and characterization of these proteomic methods, including a detailed analysis of the variety of metabolic labeling schemes that can be employed in budding yeasts, which facilitate the bulk of my thesis work. In chapters 3 and 4, I apply these methods to the methylotrophic yeast, Komagataella phaffii, which grows robustly on a diverse set of carbon sources. …”

Ammonia-dependent reducing power redistribution for purple phototrophic bacteria culture-based biohydrogen production by Huang, Peitian, Chen, Yun, Li, Zong, Zhang, Baorui, Yu, Siwei, Zhou, Yan

“…Leveraging photo fermentation (PF) process, purple phototrophic bacteria (PPB) can harness reducing power derived from organic substrates to facilitate hydrogen production. However, existing studies report much lower H2 yields than theoretical value when using acetate as carbon source and ammonia as nitrogen source, primarily attributed to the widely employed pulse-feeding mode which suffers from ammonia inhibition effect on nitrogenase. …”

Active control of wakes and vortex-induced vibration of a circular cylinder at Re = 100 by Wang, Chenglei

“…This research aims to explore the control of asymmetric vortex shedding and the resulting VIV of bluff bodies using SJs and one of their variants, with the focus being placed on the change of wake dynamics, aerodynamic forces, and motions of a circular cylinder due to the control at a specific low Reynolds number of 100. To facilitate this study, a lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) based framework is established for fluid-structure interaction (FSI) simulations. …”
