Towards improving full-length ribosome density prediction by bridging sequence and graph-based representations

Pierre Vandergheynst, Felix Naef, Cédric Gobet, Francesco Craighero, Mohan Vamsi Nallapareddy

Translation elongation plays an important role in regulating protein concentrations in the cell, and dysregulation of this process has been linked to several human diseases. In this study, we use data from ribo-seq experiments to model ribosome densities, ...

Investigating the intra-molecular and inter-molecular effects of post-translational modifications on intrinsically disordered protein regions and structured protein regions

Zhidian Zhang

Post-translational modifications (PTMs) play a pivotal role in regulating protein structure, interaction, and function. Aberrant PTM patterns are associated with diseases. Moreover, individual PTMs have a complex interaction with each other, known as PTM c ...

Benchmarking machine-readable vectors of chemical reactions on computed activation barriers

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Ksenia Briling, Puck Elisabeth van Gerwen, Yannick Calvino Alonso, Malte Martin Franke

In recent years, there has been a surge of interest in predicting computed activation barriers, to enable the acceleration of the automated exploration of reaction networks. Consequently, various predictive approaches have emerged, ranging from graph-based ...

Secondary structure of the human mitochondrial genome affects formation of deletions

Jacques Fellay, Konstantin Popadin

BackgroundAging in postmitotic tissues is associated with clonal expansion of somatic mitochondrial deletions, the origin of which is not well understood. Such deletions are often flanked by direct nucleotide repeats, but this alone does not fully explain ...

Secondary Structures of MERS-CoV, SARS-CoV, and SARS-CoV-2 Spike Proteins Revealed by Infrared Vibrational Spectroscopy

Marta Di Fabrizio

All coronaviruses are characterized by spike glycoproteins whose S1 subunits contain the receptor binding domain (RBD). The RBD anchors the virus to the host cellular membrane to regulate the virus transmissibility and infectious process. Although the prot ...

Accurate color characterization of solar photovoltaic modules for building integration

Christophe Ballif, Antonin Faes, Alessandro Francesco Aldo Virtuani, Jordi Escarre Palou, Alejandro Borja Block

Accurate and reproducible color characterization is essential for colored building integrated photovoltaic products, both for manufacturing quality control and assessing long-term color stability. However, existing characterization techniques struggle to a ...

Seeing Photons in Color

Edoardo Charbon, Claudio Bruschini, Paul Mos, Mohit Gupta

Megapixel single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) arrays have been developed recently, opening up the possibility of deploying SPADs as general-purpose passive cameras for photography and computer vision. However, most previous work on SPADs has been limited ...

The role of secondary features in serial dependence

David Pascucci

Recent work indicates that visual features are processed in a serially dependent manner: The decision about a stimulus feature in the present is influenced by the features of stimuli seen in the past, leading to serial dependence. It remains unclear, howev ...

Computational design of dynamic receptor—peptide signaling complexes applied to chemotaxis

Patrick Daniel Barth, Aurélien Laurent Jean-Charles Oggier, Ana Paola Rico Villarreal, Mahdi Hijazi, Robert Everett Jefferson, Andreas Füglistaler

Engineering protein biosensors that sensitively respond to specific biomolecules by triggering precise cellular responses is a major goal of diagnostics and synthetic cell biology. Previous biosensor designs have largely relied on binding structurally well ...

Low-Rank Tensor Approximations for Solving Multimarginal Optimal Transport Problems\ast

Daniel Kressner, Christoph Max Strössner

By the addition of entropic regularization, multimarginal optimal transport problems can be trans-formed into tensor scaling problems, which can be solved numerically using the multimarginal Sinkhorn algorithm. The main computational bottleneck of this alg ...
