Dynamic Interplay of Loop Motions Governs the Molecular Level Regulatory Dynamics in Spleen Tyrosine Kinase: Insights from Molecular Dynamics Simulations.

The spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) is a key regulator in immune cell signaling and is linked to various mechanisms in cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Although most computational research on Syk focuses on novel drug design, the molecular-level regulatory dynamics remain unexplored. In this study, we utilized 5 × 1 μs all-atom molecular dynamics simulations of the Syk kinase domain, examining it in combinations of activation segment phosphorylated/unphosphorylated (at Tyr525, Tyr526) and the "DFG"-Asp protonated/deprotonated (at Asp512) states to investigate conformational variations and regulatory dynamics of various loops and motifs within the kinase domain.

'Bhim Kol (Musa Balbisiana)' Wine: Chemical Profiling and Antidiabetic Properties with MD Simulation Insights.

Musa balbisiana (Bhim Kol), an exotic fruit that offers numerous benefits can be fermented to obtain a unique indigenous wine. This study explores the fermentation of Musa balbisiana (Bhim Kol) fruit to produce a unique indigenous wine using strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and sugar over a 21-day period. Chemical profiling via GC-MS analysis revealed the presence of major volatile compounds such as butan-1-ol, propanoic acid, 2-phenylethanol, oxolane-2,5-dione etc.

Computational insights into VacA toxin inhibition: harnessing FDA-approved antibiotics against .

Cancer is a condition in which a few of the body's cells grow beyond its control and spread to other outward regions. Globally, gastric cancer (GC) is third most common cause of cancer-related mortality and the fourth most common kind of cancer. Persistent infection of VacA-positive () modulates cellular physiology and leads to GC.

Molecular level investigation for identifying potential inhibitors against thymidylate kinase of monkeypox through approaches.

The need for more advanced and effective monkeypox (Mpox) treatments has become evident with numerous Mpox virus (MPXV) outbreaks. Over the years, interest has increased in developing targeted medicines that are efficient, safe, and precise while avoiding adverse effects. Here, we screened 32409 compounds against thymidylate kinase (TMPK), an emerging target for Mpox treatment.

Plant derived active compounds of ayurvedic neurological formulation, Saraswatharishta as a potential dual leucine zipper kinase inhibitor: an study.

Recent findings have highlighted the essential role of dual leucine zipper kinase (DLK) in neuronal degeneration. Saraswatharishta (SWRT), an ayurvedic formulation utilized in traditional Indian medicine, has demonstrated effectiveness in addressing neurodegenerative diseases. Herein, we aim to delve into the atomistic details of the mode of action of phytochemicals present in SWRT against DLK.

Molecular dynamics simulations reveal phosphorylation-induced conformational dynamics of the fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 kinase.

The Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor1 (FGFR1) kinase wields exquisite control on cell fate, proliferation, differentiation, and homeostasis. An imbalance of FGFR1 signaling leads to several pathogeneses of diseases ranging from multiple cancers to allergic and neurodegenerative disorders. In this study, we investigated the phosphorylation-induced conformational dynamics of FGFR1 in apo and ATP-bound states all-atom molecular dynamics simulations.

The FGF/FGFR signalling mediated anti-cancer drug resistance and therapeutic intervention.

ABSTRACT Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF) ligands and their receptors are crucial factors driving chemoresistance in several malignancies, challenging the efficacy of currently available anti-cancer drugs. The Fibroblast growth factor/receptor (FGF/FGFR) signalling malfunctions in tumor cells, resulting in a range of molecular pathways that may impact its drug effectiveness. Deregulation of cell signalling is critical since it can enhance tumor growth and metastasis.
