A quantum walks assisted algorithm for peptide and protein folding prediction.

Proteins are considered as the working force of cells. Their functionality is determined by their spatial form. In 1973 Anfinsen proposed that the spatial form is determined by the sequence of amino acids in the protein backbone.

Changes in Watering Frequency Stimulate Differentiated Adaptive Responses among Seedlings of Different Beech Populations.

Seasonality, rather than annual precipitation levels, is expected to affect the adaptive responses of plant populations under future climate change. To estimate adaptive traits' variation, we conducted a common garden experiment with two beech populations from contrasting climatic origins (Evros with longer drought intervals during summer and higher precipitation seasonality, and Drama representing a more temperate ecosystem). We simulated two different watering treatments (frequent vs.

Adaptive Diversity of Beech Seedlings Under Climate Change Scenarios.

The ability of beech ( L.) populations to adapt to the ongoing climate change is especially important in the southern part of Europe, where environmental change is expected to be more intense. In this study, we tested the existing adaptive potential of eight beech populations from two provenances in N.
