Plasmodium malariae is the third most prevalent human malaria parasite species and contributes significantly to morbidity. Nevertheless, our comprehension of this parasite's biology remains limited, primarily due to its frequent co-infections with other species and the lack of a continuous in vitro culture system. To effectively combat and eliminate this overlooked parasite, it is imperative to acquire a better understanding of this species.

Serine proteases (SPs) are important proteases in the digestive system of lepidopteran insects. They play important roles in protein digestion, coagulation, signal transduction, hormone activation, inflammation and development. Blood-borne pyosis caused by Bombyx mori nuclear polyhedrosis virus (BmNPV) has caused serious harm to sericulture.

Background: Epichloë endophytes provide many benefits to host plants, including enhanced insect resistance. Fungal alkaloids are usually thought to be responsible for the endophyte-conferred herbivore resistance. Nonetheless, the fungal alkaloid profiles and concentrations may vary considerably among grass-endophyte systems.

Rational drug design focuses on the explanation and prediction of complex formation between therapeutic targets and small-molecule ligands. As a third and often overlooked interacting partner, water molecules play a critical role in the thermodynamics of protein-ligand binding, impacting both the entropy and enthalpy components of the binding free energy and by extension, on-target affinity and bioactivity. The community has realized the importance of binding site waters, as evidenced by the number of computational tools to predict the structure and thermodynamics of their networks.
