MCNN-AAPT: accurate classification and functional prediction of amino acid and peptide transporters in secondary active transporters using protein language models and multi-window deep learning.

Secondary active transporters play a crucial role in cellular physiology by facilitating the movement of molecules across cell membranes. Identifying the functional classes of these transporters, particularly amino acid and peptide transporters, is essential for understanding their involvement in various physiological processes and disease pathways, including cancer. This study aims to develop a robust computational framework that integrates pre-trained protein language models and deep learning techniques to classify amino acid and peptide transporters within the secondary active transporter (SAT) family and predict their functional association with solute carrier (SLC) proteins.

Effect of pore structure in bismuth metal-organic framework nanorod derivatives on adsorption and organic pollutant degradation.

This study explores the synthesis, characterization, and photocatalytic properties of bismuth metal-organic framework (Bi-MOF) nanorods and their derivatives such as Ag/Bi-MOF and Ag/BiO. Bi-MOF nanorods exhibit significant photocatalytic activity under visible light, with the addition of silver (Ag) enhancing electron-hole pair separation and reducing their recombination. This leads to improved photocatalytic performance, particularly in the degradation of organic pollutants such as Rhodamine B (RhB) and Methylene Blue (MB).

MCNN_MC: Computational Prediction of Mitochondrial Carriers and Investigation of Bongkrekic Acid Toxicity Using Protein Language Models and Convolutional Neural Networks.

Mitochondrial carriers (MCs) are essential proteins that transport metabolites across mitochondrial membranes and play a critical role in cellular metabolism. ADP/ATP (adenosine diphosphate/adenosine triphosphate) is one of the most important carriers as it contributes to cellular energy production and is susceptible to the powerful toxin bongkrekic acid. This toxin has claimed several lives; for example, a recent foodborne outbreak in Taipei, Taiwan, has caused four deaths and sickened 30 people.

Imaging characteristics of posterior interosseous nerve syndrome.

Posterior interosseous nerve syndrome (PINs) is a rare nerve compression syndrome that affects the deep branch of the radial nerve in the supinator muscle region.

Development of SNP Markers from GWAS for Selecting Seed Coat and Aleurone Layers in Brown Rice ( L.).

Ninety-five percent of the general nutrients in rice are concentrated in the rice bran and germ, and many nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, and essential fatty acids, as well as antioxidants such as tocopherol, are lost during milling. In this study, we investigated the thickness of seed coat and aleurone layers using a 294 rice core collection, and found candidate genes related to thickness of seed coat and aleurone layers, by performing a genome wide association study (GWAS) analysis using whole genome resequencing data. Two primer pairs that can be used as high-resolution melting (HRM) markers were developed.

Aetiology and Potential Animal Exposure in Central Nervous System Infections in Vietnam.

An estimated 73% of emerging infections are zoonotic in origin, with animal contact and encroachment on their habitats increasing the risk of spill-over events. In Vietnam, close exposure to a wide range of animals and animal products can lead to acquisition of zoonotic pathogens, a number of which cause central nervous system (CNS) infections. However, studies show the aetiology of CNS infections remains unknown in around half of cases.
