Microtubules (MTs) constitute the largest components of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton and play crucial roles in various cellular processes, including mitosis and intracellular transport. The property allowing MTs to cater to such diverse roles is attributed to dynamic instability, which is coupled to the hydrolysis of GTP (guanosine-5'-triphosphate) to GDP (guanosine-5'-diphosphate) within the β-tubulin monomers. Understanding the equilibrium dynamics and the structural features of both GDP- and GTP-complexed MT tips, especially at an all-atom level, remains challenging for both experimental and computational methods because of their dynamic nature and the prohibitive computational demands of simulating large, many-protein systems.

Cytokinin Response Factors (CRFs) play a crucial role in plant growth and development, hormone signaling, and responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. However, there have been no reports on CRF genes in rice until now. We analyzed the CRF families in four rice subspecies: cultivated rice Oryza sativa Japonica Group, Oryza sativa Indica Group, and Oryza sativa (circum-Aus1 var.

The "Broadband China" has enabled China to achieve leapfrog development in the construction of its high-speed broadband networks, thereby accelerating the development of digital infrastructure and unleashing the potential for financial sector growth. This has created a strong impetus for economy to shift towards high-quality development. An in-depth understanding of the empirical correlation between the development of digital infrastructure and financial progress is absent, leaving an unexplored domain of research concerning the impact of the "Broad China" strategy on financial agglomeration (), financial scale (), and digital finance ).

Within the realm of health care quality assessment, quality assurance and safety grading systems play a vital role in gauging hospital performance and communicating results to the general public. The primary objective of this review is to analyze the hospitals in California through the lens of Leapfrog Safety Grades and discuss the complex interplay of geographical location, hospital size, and larger system affiliation status. Leapfrog Safety Grades, hospital characteristics, and geographic information were collected.

A combined computational and interpretational DFT study is performed to investigate the regioselectivity of B and B leapfrog boron sheets upon reaction with XH-type electrophiles and nucleophiles (X = N, P, As, B, Al). The M062X, B3LYP, and B3LYP-D3 functionals are used combined with the 6-31+G(d,p) basis. The molecular electrostatic potential (MEP), Fukui functions, and the dual descriptor are employed to predict the local reactivity of B and B.
