NMR structure and activity relationship of defensin-analogous peptides by Bai, Yang

“…Despite inducing rapid aggregation of outer membrane lipopolysaccharides, AMPs remain highly mobile in the aggregated lattice. These findings suggest that AMPs possessing both enhanced mobility in the bacterial outer membrane and spatial structure facilitating its interactions with the membrane-water interface may provide excellent structural motifs for developing broad-spectrum new antimicrobials. …”

Examining graph neural networks for crystal structures: Limitations and opportunities for capturing periodicity by Gong, Sheng, Yan, Keqiang, Xie, Tian, Shao-Horn, Yang, Gomez-Bombarelli, Rafael, Ji, Shuiwang, Grossman, Jeffrey C.

“…In this study, we introduce an approach using human-designed descriptors as a compendium of human knowledge to investigate the extent to which GNNs can comprehend crystal structures. Our findings reveal that current state-of-the-art GNNs fall short in accurately capturing the periodicity of crystal structures. …”
