Natural 2',4-Dihydroxy-4',6'-dimethoxy Chalcone Isolated from Inhibits Breast Cancer Cell Growth through Autophagy and Mitochondrial Apoptosis.

Breast cancer (BC) is one of the most common cancers among women. Effective treatment requires precise tailoring to the genetic makeup of the cancer for improved efficacy. Numerous research studies have concentrated on natural compounds and their anti-breast cancer properties to improve the existing treatment options.

An Immunoinformatics Approach for SARS-CoV-2 in Latam Populations and Multi-Epitope Vaccine Candidate Directed towards the World's Population.

The coronavirus pandemic is a major public health crisis affecting global health systems with dire socioeconomic consequences, especially in vulnerable regions such as Latin America (LATAM). There is an urgent need for a vaccine to help control contagion, reduce mortality and alleviate social costs. In this study, we propose a rational multi-epitope candidate vaccine against SARS-CoV-2.

Dynamic Effects of CYP2D6 Genetic Variants in a Set of Poor Metaboliser Patients with Infiltrating Ductal Cancer Under Treatment with Tamoxifen.

Breast cancer is a group of multigenic diseases. It is the most common cancer diagnosed among women worldwide and is often treated with tamoxifen. Tamoxifen is catalysed by cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6), and inter-individual variations in the enzyme due to single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) could alter enzyme activity.

HSO3Cl: a prototype molecule for studying OH-stretching overtone induced photodissociation.

Vibrationally induced photodissociation in sulfurochloridic acid (HSO3Cl) is found to be a viable process to form SO3 and HCl from excitations of the OH-stretching overtone starting at νOH = 4. Reactive molecular dynamics simulations on a fully-dimensional potential energy surface fitted to MP2 calculations show that hydrogen transfer and HCl elimination compete with one another on the nanosecond time scale. Excitation with 5 and 6 quanta in the OH-stretch direct elimination of HCl is a dominant process on the several hundred picosecond time scale.

Competitive reaction pathways in vibrationally induced photodissociation of H2SO4.

Vibrationally induced photodissociation of sulfuric acid into H2O + SO3 is investigated based on reactive molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Multisurface adiabatic reactive MD simulations allow us to follow both, H-transfer and water elimination after excitation of the ν9 OH-stretching mode. Analysis of several thousand trajectories finds that the H2O and SO3 fragments have distinct final state distributions with respect to translational, rotational, and vibrational degrees of freedom.

Multisurface Adiabatic Reactive Molecular Dynamics.

Adiabatic reactive molecular dynamics (ARMD) simulation method is a surface-crossing algorithm for modeling chemical reactions in classical molecular dynamics simulations using empirical force fields. As the ARMD Hamiltonian is time dependent during crossing, it allows only approximate energy conservation. In the current work, the range of applicability of conventional ARMD is explored, and a new multisurface ARMD (MS-ARMD) method is presented, implemented in CHARMM and applied to the vibrationally induced photodissociation of sulfuric acid (H2SO4) in the gas phase.
