A new approach to the inverse folding problem is proposed, which is based on the analysis of multiple structural alignments of protein families. The incorporation of multiple structure information allows one to take into account the variability of structural characteristics amongst protein structures of the same fold. The new method was tested on two highly populated structural families.

Background: Most cancer survivors have multiple cardiovascular risk factors, increasing their risk of poor cardiovascular and cancer outcomes. The Automated Heart-Health Assessment (AH-HA) tool is a novel electronic health record clinical decision support tool based on the American Heart Association's Life's Simple 7 cardiovascular health (CVH) metrics to promote CVH assessment and discussion in outpatient oncology. Before proceeding to future implementation trials, it is critical to establish the acceptability of the tool among providers and survivors.

Regioselective Suzuki-Miyarua Cross-Coupling for Substituted 2,4-Dibromopyridines Catalyzed by -Symmetric Tripalladium Clusters.

J Org Chem

January 2025

Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Shandong Provincial Key Laboratory of Chemical Energy Storage and Novel Cell Technology, Liaocheng University, Liaocheng 252059, China.

Multipalladium clusters possess peculiar structures and synergistic effects for reactivity and selectivity. Herein, -symmetric tripalladium clusters (, 0.5 mol %) afford C-regioselective SMCC of 2,4-dibromopyridine with phenylboronic acids or pinacol esters (C:C up to 98:1), in contrast to Pd(OAc) in ligand-free conditions.

Frameshifting is an essential mechanism employed by many viruses including coronaviruses to produce viral proteins from a compact RNA genome. It is facilitated by specific RNA folds in the frameshift element (FSE), which has emerged as an important therapeutic target. For SARS-CoV-2, a specific 3-stem pseudoknot has been identified to stimulate frameshifting.

Automating alloy design and discovery with physics-aware multimodal multiagent AI.

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A

January 2025

Laboratory for Atomistic and Molecular Mechanics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA 02139.

The design of new alloys is a multiscale problem that requires a holistic approach that involves retrieving relevant knowledge, applying advanced computational methods, conducting experimental validations, and analyzing the results, a process that is typically slow and reserved for human experts. Machine learning can help accelerate this process, for instance, through the use of deep surrogate models that connect structural and chemical features to material properties, or vice versa. However, existing data-driven models often target specific material objectives, offering limited flexibility to integrate out-of-domain knowledge and cannot adapt to new, unforeseen challenges.

Background: Radiotherapy (RT) in head and neck cancer (HNC) can cause multiple side effects such as nausea, pain, taste loss, fatigue, oral mucositis, xerostomia, and acute radiation-associated dysphagia (RAD). These factors threaten patients' oral intake (OI) during this RT. Reduced OI can cause weight loss, dehydration, malnutrition, and various comorbidities.
