Developing a Psychometric Tool to Measure the Emotional Impact of Visual Content by Cucu, Theodor

“…In a separate group of human participants, we then estimate valence responses following short, random sequences of those images (of length ≤ 10). Our key finding is that these sequence-contingent valence responses can be closely predicted by a simple linear combination of the estimated human valence responses to individual images (held-out ρ = 0.94). …”

Structure and protein recognition of G-quadruplexes by Ngo, Khac Huy

“…In this study, different biophysical, biochemical, and structural techniques (CD, ITC, gel electrophoresis, enzymatic assay NMR spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography) and nucleic acid/protein/peptide engineering were applied to: i) expand our understanding of G4 diversity including base stacking, interlocking, and A•G•G•G•G pentad formation; ii) study the molecular basis for G4 recognition by proteins; iii) engineer G4-binding proteins/peptides for various applications including stable cyclic peptide or engineered enzyme for G4s targeting. The findings from this study provide a better understanding of G4 structures and their recognition by proteins.…”
