AI Article Synopsis

  • The study investigates how human histone lysine methyltransferases catalyze the methylation of histones with lysine and its structurally modified analogues (E)-alkene, (Z)-alkene, and alkyne.
  • Both G9a and GLP methyltransferases exhibit a higher efficiency for regular lysine, with a decreasing ability for the rigid analogues in the order of K > KE > KZ ∼ Kyne.
  • In contrast, the monomethyltransferase SETD8 only supports the methylation of lysine and its (E)-alkene analogue, showing limited activity with the others.

Article Abstract

We report synthesis and enzymatic assays on human histone lysine methyltransferase catalysed methylation of histones that possess lysine and its geometrically constrained analogues containing rigid (E)-alkene (KE), (Z)-alkene (KZ) and alkyne (Kyne) moieties. Methyltransferases G9a and GLP do have a capacity to catalyse methylation in the order K ≫ KE > KZ ∼ Kyne, whereas monomethyltransferase SETD8 catalyses only methylation of K and KE.

Purpose: To develop an end-to-end convolutional neural network model for analyzing hematoxylin and eosin(H&E)-stained histological images, enhancing the performance and efficiency of nuclear segmentation and classification within the digital pathology workflow.

Methods: We propose a dual-mechanism feature pyramid fusion technique that integrates nuclear segmentation and classification tasks to construct the HistoNeXt network model. HistoNeXt utilizes an encoder-decoder architecture, where the encoder, based on the advanced ConvNeXt convolutional framework, efficiently and accurately extracts multi-level abstract features from tissue images.

The remarkable success of Graph Neural Networks underscores their formidable capacity to assimilate multimodal inputs, markedly enhancing performance across a broad spectrum of domains. In the context of molecular modeling, considerable efforts have been made to enrich molecular representations by integrating data from diverse aspects. Nevertheless, current methodologies frequently compartmentalize geometric and semantic components, resulting in a fragmented approach that impairs the holistic integration of molecular attributes.

Three-dimensional (3D) molecular generation models employ deep neural networks to simultaneously generate both topological representation and molecular conformations. Due to their advantages in utilizing the structural and interaction information on targets, as well as their reduced reliance on existing bioactivity data, these models have attracted widespread attention. However, limited training and testing data sets and the unexpected biases inherent in single evaluation metrics pose a significant challenge in comparing these models in practical settings.

Introduction Movement requires maneuvers that generate thrust to either make turns or move the body forward in physical space. The computational space for perpetually controlling the relative position of every point on the body surface can be vast. We hypothesize the evolution of efficient design for movement that minimizes active (neural) control by leveraging the passive (reactive) forces between the body and the surrounding medium at play.
