Prediction and discovery of new materials with desired properties are at the forefront of quantum science and technology research. A major bottleneck in this field is the computational resources and time complexity related to finding new materials from ab initio calculations. In this work, an effective and robust deep learning-based model is proposed by incorporating persistent homology with graph neural network which offers an accuracy of and an F1 score of in classifying topological versus non-topological materials, outperforming the other state-of-the-art classifier models.

Venlafaxine (VLF) is a medication used to treat depression. When taken orally, only about 45 % of VLF enters the systemic circulation due to liver metabolism.

Introduction: Cancer cells adopt a glycolytic phenotype to fulfill their energy needs in unfavorable conditions. In metabolic rewiring, cancer cells upregulate the expression of glycolytic pathway regulators including glucose transporter 1, hexokinase 2, and PKM2 (pyruvate kinase) into its M2 splice form. Among these regulators, PKM2 plays a major role in metabolic reprogramming and is overexpressed in various diseases, including cancer.

The overexpression of 6PGD has been reported in many human cancers especially in breast cancer and is emerged as the potential anti-cancer drug target.

Cancer metabolism has received much attention, particularly in relation to glucose metabolism. It has been observed that human malignancies have high levels of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) activity which is an important enzyme of glucose metabolism.
