Incorporating the BOLS correlation algorithm [Y. Sun, J. Phys. Chem. C, 2009, 113, 14696] into high-resolution XPS measurements [J. N. Andersen, et al., Phys. Rev. B: Condens. Matter, 1994, 50, 17525; A. Baraldi, et al., New J. Phys., 2007, 9, 143] has produced an effective way of determining the 3d(5/2) energy levels of isolated Rh(302.163 +/- 0.003 eV) and Pd (330.261 +/- 0.004 eV eV) atoms and their respective bulk shifts (4.367 and 4.359 eV) with a refinement of the effective atomic coordination numbers of the top (100), (110), and (111) atomic layers (4.00, 3.87, and 4.26, respectively). It is further confirmed that the shorter and stronger bonds between under-coordinated atoms induce local strain and skin-depth charge-and-energy quantum trapping and, hence, dictate globally the positive core level binding energy shifts.

protein design has advanced such that many peptide assemblies and protein structures can be generated predictably and quickly. The drive now is to bring functions to these structures, for example, small-molecule binding and catalysis. The formidable challenge of binding and orienting multiple small molecules to direct chemistry is particularly important for paving the way to new functionalities.

Cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6 (CDK4/6) are crucial regulators of cell cycle progression and represent important therapeutic targets in breast cancer. This study employs a comprehensive computational approach to identify novel CDK4/6 inhibitors from marine natural products. We utilized structure-based virtual screening of the CMNPD database and MNP library, followed by rigorous filtering based on drug-likeness criteria, PAINS filter, ADME properties, and toxicity profiles.

Glucanases are widely applied in industrial applications such as brewing, biomass conversion, food, and animal feed. Glucanases catalyze the hydrolysis of glucan to produce the sugar hemiacetal through hydrolytic cleavage of glycosidic bonds. Current study aimed to investigate structural insights of a glucanase from Clostridium perfringens through blind molecular docking, site-specific molecular docking, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation, and binding energy calculation.

Phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) carboxylase (PEPC) has an anaplerotic role in central plant metabolism but also initiates the carbon concentrating mechanism during C photosynthesis. The C PEPC has different binding affinities (K) for PEP (K) and HCO (K), and allosteric regulation by glucose-6-phosphate (G6-P) compared to non-photosynthetic isoforms. These differences are linked to specific changes in amino acids within PEPC.
