Background: Methicillin-resistant (MRSA) poses a significant challenge in clinical environments due to its resistance to standard antibiotics. Protein A (SpA), a crucial virulence factor of MRSA, undermines host immune responses, making it an attractive target for vaccine development. This study aimed to identify potential epitopes within SpA that could elicit robust immune responses, ultimately contributing to the combat against multidrug-resistant (MDR) MRSA.

Lithium-sulfur batteries are a promising candidate for the next generation of rechargeable batteries. Despite extensive research on this system over the last decade, a complete understanding of the phase transformations has remained elusive. Conventional in-situ powder X-ray diffraction has struggled to determine the unit cell and space group of the polysulfides formed during charge and discharge cycles due to the high solubility of these solid products in the liquid electrolyte.

Computer-aided drug discovery (CADD) utilizes computational methods to accelerate the identification and optimization of potential drug candidates. Free energy perturbation (FEP) and thermodynamic integration (TI) play a critical role in predicting differences in protein binding affinities between drug molecules. Here, we implement SPONGE-FEP, which incorporates selective integrated tempering sampling (SITS) to enhance sampling efficiency and contains an automated workflow for relative binding free energy (RBFE) calculations.

Protein structure prediction methods require stoichiometry information (i.e., subunit counts) to predict the quaternary structure of protein complexes.

Leveraging a computational drug repurposing framework that integrates disease-relevant genetically regulated gene expression (GReX) and large longitudinal electronic medical record (EMR) databases can expedite the repositioning of existing medications. However, validating computational predictions of the drug repurposing framework remains a challenge.
