Crystal structure of the FK506 binding domain of plasmodium falciparum FKBP35 in complex with FK506 by Kotaka, Masayo, Ye, Hong, Alag, Reema, Hu, Guangan, Bozdech, Zbynek, Preiser, Peter Rainer, Yoon, Ho Sup, Lescar, Julien

“…It binds to a α/β protein module of approximately 120 amino acids known as the FK506 binding domain (FKBD), which is found in various organisms, including human, yeast, and Plasmodium falciparum (PfFKBD). Antiparasitic effects of FK506 and its analogues devoid of immunosuppressive activities have been demonstrated. …”

Finding transcription factor binding motifs for coregulated genes by combining sequence overrepresentation with cross-species conservation by Jia, Hui., Li, Jinming.

“…Compared with the prevailing motif finding software, our method has some advantages in finding transcriptional factor binding motifs for potential coregulated genes if the gene upstream sequences of multiple closely related species are available. Although we used yeast genomes to assess our method in this study, it might also be applied to other organisms if suitable related species are available and the upstream sequences of coregulated genes can be obtained for the multiple closely related species.…”

Putting distance through cleansing : the mediating role of temporal distancing on the embodiment of moral purity by Nurul Mira Fatin Abdulkahar

“…More specifically, it is hypothesized that compared to individuals who do not clean their hands, those who do so after recalling a past immoral act would be more likely to temporally distance their present selves away from their past immoral selves so as to preserve favorable self-view, and hence are more likely to perceive their past moral transgressions as less severe than they would have normally believed. …”

Understanding single-protein fouling in micro- and ultrafiltration systems via machine-learning-based models by Tanudjaja, Henry Jonathan, Ng, Angie Qi Qi, Chew, Jia Wei

“…Membrane pore size is the most dominant influence on fouling followed by transmembrane pressure (TMP), while membrane configuration (i.e., flat-sheet, hollow fiber, or tubular) is the least dominant. The NN model gives modest predictive capability despite inconsistencies and variabilities of the experimental setups and protocols, which invariably affects the important parameters in the database compiled from past publications. …”
