Benchmark timings are presented for the fragment molecular orbital method on a Blue Gene/P computer. Algorithmic modifications that lead to enhanced performance on the Blue Gene/P architecture include strategies for the storage of fragment density matrices by process subgroups in the global address space. The computation of the atomic forces for a system with more than 3000 atoms and 44 000 basis functions, using second order perturbation theory and an augmented and polarized double-ζ basis set, takes ∼7 min on 131 072 cores.

Fe(III)-Catalyzed Ring Expansion of Cyclopropenone from Olefins via Radicals to Access Pyrone and Indanone Derivatives.

A novel approach for the synthesis of pyrone and indanone derivatives utilizing Fe(III)-catalyzed reductive radical ring expansion of olefins and cyclopropenone has been proposed. The preliminary mechanism study shows that the alkyl radical is formed by hydrogen atom transfer, which can open the tension ring and then generate the intermediate. There are two paths for the intermediate: when there is a hydroxyl group at the β-position of the olefin, the reaction produces pyrones, and otherwise 1-indanone is generated.

Food protein-derived antihypertensive peptides have attracted substantial attention as a safer alternative for drugs. The regulation of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is an essential aspect underlying the mechanisms of antihypertensive peptides. Most of the identified antihypertensive peptides exhibit the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory effect.

Blood-based extracellular matrix (ECM) fragments have been identified as potential pharmacologic biomarkers in spondyloarthritis and diagnostic biomarkers in psoriatic arthritis and psoriasis vulgaris. This study aimed to explore whether ECM fragments can differentiate patients with psoriasis from healthy controls (HC) and determine their potential as biomarkers for response to treatment in psoriasis. The study population included 59 patients with moderate to severe psoriasis, not receiving systemic anti-psoriatic treatment at inclusion, and 52 HC matched by age, sex, and BMI.

We have designed and produced 39 amino acid peptide mimics of the and human acetylcholine receptors' (AChRs) main immunogenic regions (MIRs). These conformationally sensitive regions consist of three non-contiguous segments of the AChR α-subunits and are the target of 50-70% of the anti-AChR autoantibodies (Abs) in human myasthenic serum and in the serum of rats with a model of that disease, experimental autoimmune myasthenia gravis (EAMG), induced by immunizing the rats with the electric organ AChR. These MIR segments covalently joined together bind a significant fraction of the monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) raised in rats against electric organ AChR.

Monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) inhibitors are widely used as part of combination drug therapy for Parkinson's disease. As demonstrated in both in vitro and in vivo experiments, the monoterpenoid Prottremine and some of its derivatives exhibit high antiparkinsonian activity. In this study, the inhibitory activity of Prottremine and its derivatives (including 14 new 9-- and -derivatives) against MAO-A and MAO-B enzymes has been investigated for the first time.
