[Advances in using artificial intelligence for predicting protein-ligand binding affinity].

The binding of proteins and ligands is a crucial aspect of life processes. The calculation of the protein-ligand binding affinity (PLBA) offers valuable insights into protein function, drug screening targets protein receptors, and enzyme modifications. In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has experienced rapid advancements, becoming widely used in PLBA prediction.

Transcriptomic analysis of cell envelope inhibition by prodigiosin in methicillin-resistant .

Methicillin-resistant (MRSA) is a leading threat to public health as it is resistant to most currently available antibiotics. Prodigiosin is a secondary metabolite of microorganisms with broad-spectrum antibacterial activity. This study identified a significant antibacterial effect of prodigiosin against MRSA with a minimum inhibitory concentration as low as 2.
